Configuring the Network Connection
Use the Network Connection to configure the network settings of the Decoder, which
includes setting of the connection type and IP address.
There are two types of connection: Manual and DHCP.
Manual: The IP address must be assigned manually, so are other network
configurations like Subnet Mask, Gateway, etc. Note that the IP address must be unique
for each device on the network. By default, the Decoder has a default IP of
192.168.0.200 and subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Users may need to change the
default IP and subnet mask to ensure the Decoder belongs to the same network
segment as the cameras.
DHCP Connection: On a DHCP network, the DHCP server assigns the IP address
automatically. By default, the Decoder will automatically switch to DHCP connection
mode and be assigned an IP address. However, if this does not happen, users need to
manually change the Connection Type to DHCP. See
on page 51.
Setting the IP Address Manually
If your network does not have a DHCP server, perform the following to manually configure the
network settings:
1. On the Setup screen, click Network > Network Connection.
2. On Connection Type, select Manual.
3. Obtain the information from your network service provider and enter the IP Address,
Subnet Mask, and other necessary settings.
NOTE:
The IP Address and Subnet Mask must be filled in. Other settings may be left blank
if not required by the network service.
4. When done, click Save.
