Now that we know the network being utilized at the site, we can alter the address we obtained from the
DHCP server to a static address. It is essential to use a static address, or one that does not change as we
will be writing port-forwarding rules in the router that refer to the recorder. If the address were to
change, the rule we write would no longer apply.
In this example, we are going to make the assumption that the customer does not have more than 200
devices on their network. We will disable (uncheck) DHCP and modify the LAST number in the IP Address
field to “200” thereby creating a static address. Note that some networks may use a different IP scheme,
but the same rules apply in changing the last number in the series. Again, some networks are strictly
managed and may require assistance from the local IT staff.
If the DHCP server did NOT provide DNS servers, use Google’s Primary and Alternate DNS servers as
shown in the example below:
Uncheck “Enable DHCP,” change the last number to “200” and click “Apply”
