Chapter 10 09 10. Networking Overview This chapter will try to give you a detailed instruction on how to network the DVR. Before we begin the process of networking your digital recorder we should have a working knowledge of what a network is and how it works. This will be a helpful in completing the networking process. 10.1 Introduction to TCP/IP TCP/IP is the suite of protocols used by the Internet and most LANs (Local Area Networks) throughout the world.
identify a host or computer on the LAN which assigns the IP addresses to your network. For example, a Linksys router has an IP address of 192.168.1.1. If you were using this type of router within your LAN, then your gateway would be the IP address of the Linksys router. The reason this would be your gateway is because the Linksys is assigning the IP addresses for your network therefore the Linksys would be the gateway to your network. This is similar to the zip code of your address. 10.
Note: Everfocus suggests having a minimum upload speed of 256KBps. This can be addressed by the Internet Service Provider. Who is your Internet provider? ______________ Please confirm that your internet service provider that our upload speed is at least 256KBps. What type of modem/router do you have? ______________ Modem/router model name/ # The modem/router was either installed by your Internet service provider or purchased by you to establish a connection to the Internet.
10.6 What Type of Network Connection do you have? Everfocus DVR’s can operate using three distinct types of networking connections. 1. Simple One to One Connection: A simple one to one connection is the most simple network connection. Basically it is a connection between a Computer and Another Computer or in this case a DVR using a cross-over cable. 2.
Diagram 10.1 Connection Procedure: The First step is to purchase or make a cross over cable. We recommend purchasing one if you have never made a cross over cable. Please remember you can not use a straight through network cable for this application Once you have a cross over cable plug one end into the LAN port on the back of the recorder and the other into the network card on the back of the computer.
