NETWORK SETUP

Guide to Network Setup

Please configure the NVS at the location of its installation. You must determine your network scenario in

order to configure the NVS with the proper TCP/IP settings. This tutorial will guide you through the

process. Before actually configuring the NVS, determine what settings you will apply. Record those settings

that you will use to configure your NVS for reference.

When configuring your NVS, treat the NVS as another PC on your network. You will assign it several

addresses and other TCP/IP properties to match your current network.

This step-by-step tutorial will teach what IP addresses and network configurations you should assign your

NVS based upon your network scenario.

① Before you begin, you will need to locate any information and settings that you have received from

your Internet Service Provider (ISP). You may need to refer to these IP addresses at a later time

during the configuration.

L If you were not given any IP addresses or the ISP was responsible for the setup and

installation of your Internet connection on your PC or network, then please go to step ○

L If you are not using a router on your network, your “Current TCP/IP Settings” (from the

previous section) and “Assigned IP Addresses from My ISP” will be exactly the same

Assigned IP Address

IP Address

Subnet Mask

Default Gateway Static 

1st DNS Server Dynamic 

2nd DNS Server (Option) PPPoE 

② You must determine whether the IP address that you were assigned from the ISP is STATIC,

DYNAMIC, or using PPPoE. At this moment, you are only concerned about the ISP. Did they

provide you with a STATIC, DYNAMIC, or PPPoE address? If you are unsure, please contact your

ISP.

③ Configure your NVS’s TCP/IP settings for network connectivity by selecting Administration Tools

from the main interface and selecting TCP/IP located on the left of the Administration Tools

screen.

④ If prompted for an ID and Password, use “admin” for both entries.

The default web port number is 80. If your ISP blocks port 80 you must use a value 1025-30000.

Please consult your ISP and determine if they block TCP port 80.
