User's Manual

To solve the problem Philips runs a server making a list of NetServers that have dynamic IP

addresses. On the server, NetServer registers its information such as name, location, and description,

so that common users may detect a certain NetServer. Name, location and description are assigned

at ‘System Configuration’ page. If administrator does not change them, the NetServer will register

default information on the list, and it will be very difficult to point out and access a certain

NetServer. The list is on an Internet homepage of NetServer, ‘www.NetServer.to’.

(1) Auto IP Registration Function

Administrator may register one’s NetServer by enabling ‘Auto IP Registration Function’.

Registration process is that NetServer detects IP addresses from DHCP server and informs the

detected IP addresses to dynamic IP registration server. And the server updates already registered

information with new one. Please keep in mind that user has to enable ‘DHCP Client Protocol’ at

‘Network Configuration’ page to have NetServer get dynamic IP addresses automatically, when

NetServer is installed on a network of dynamic IP address. With ‘Auto IP Registration Function’

menu, a NetServer of fixed IP address can also be registered on the list.

(2) Registration Server Address

This is to configure a server address for registration. To manage the registration server(WRS

Front-End) for Dynamic IP registration personally, you should install proper S/W, developed by

Philips Communications, Security & Imaging If you do not run a server for IP registration

personally, keep the server’s name as default figure (NetServer.to).

(3) Registration Interval

Dynamic IP address is commonly used on xDSL, ISDN or Cable Modem lines. To maintain

continuous connectivity, user should reset the ‘Registration Interval’ shorter than the default value.

Because an IP is to be changed from time to time, some user may not access by clicking on a

NetServer if actual information on NetServer is changed from the registered IP information on the

dynamic IP registration server.

(4) Add Public List

There are two registration systems. One is to register on a public list and the other is on a private list.

Please refer to Article 3) ‘How to find registered NetServer in NetServer Internet homepage’ for

more detailed information.

• Public List: This list is open to anyone who accesses NetServer Internet homepage

(www.NetServer.to).

• Private List: This list is not seen to anyone. Even the owner of a NetServer can get the

information on one’s NetServer only without viewing information on other’s NetServer.

Note in registering NetServer on WRS

To register your NetServer on WRS, you should enter “DNS Server IP Address”

“Network Configuration”

. Though you utilize fixed IP, you should also do it in order to
