LAN Setup
LAN Setup allows you to configure the basic network settings for
Ethernet communication. Consult a network administrator if you are not
familiar with basic network configuration, or not familiar with the network
you will be connecting to the recorder.
To access this menu, click LAN Setup.
DHCP
DHCP allows you to enable or disable DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol). By default DHCP is set to On and will attempt
to obtain a dynamic IP address automatically. DHCP must be set to Off
to allow editing of the IP, Netmask, Gateway, and DNS fields.
• IP – Specify a unique IP address for your recorder.
• Netmask – Specify a subnet mask of the network you are
connecting to the recorder.
• Gateway – Specify the default gateway of the network you are
connecting to the recorder.
• DNS – Specify the DNS of the network you are connecting to
the recorder.
Network Restart
To disconnect and immediately establish a new network connection,
click Network Restart and select Yes.
Web Port
To access your recorder from outside your local network, your router will
use the web port of your recorder. The default port is 80. If you change
the web port on the recorder, you must also configure your router to
forward information to the same port number. See instructions for Port
Forwarding in the Remote Configuration chapter.
1. Click Web Port.
2. Click Num and use the on-screen keyboard or a USB keyboard, or
use the up and down arrow buttons to type or select the number
you want to assign to your port.
DDNS Setup
To access your recorder from outside your local network, the recorder
needs a static IP address. Most internet providers do not supply this, but
a Dynamic Domain Naming System (DDNS) can solve this problem.
Detailed instruction for DDNS setup, including the information for your
Host Name, DDNS Account, and DDNS password can be found on the
Dynamic Domain Naming System (DDNS) Installation and
Activation insert included in your HDIP packaging.
1. Click DDNS Setup.
2. Click Enable DDNS and select On.
3. Type the Host Name, DDNS Account, and DDNS Password in
the appropriate fields.
4. Click Send/Update and select Yes.
5. Once the update is complete, the host name field will automatically
complete the full host name.
Note Port forwarding must also be configured on the router to allow
remote access to the recorder from an offsite location.
