Use and Care Manual

1) Write down the IP Address and HTTP port number that has been assigned to the DVR.

2) Refer to user’s manual of the router or go to http://portforward.com to get assistance

with the port forwarding of the router. Entering the LAN IP address of your DVR into the

DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) of your router will also place the DVR on the outside of the

router’s firewall.

3) From your computer, connect to your router’s settings summary page by entering the

local IP address of your router into the address bar of Internet Explorer. Read the

Internet port or WAN IP Address being used by the router. If the Internet Port or WAN IP

Address is the same as the address that is assigned to your modem (this can be

checked at http://security-labs.com/ip.shtml), then you are finished. If the WAN

addresses are different, there is another firewall inside the modem to get through. Port

forwarding will have to be performed on the router within the modem. Continue with your

investigation and adjustments until the Internet IP (WAN) Addresses are the same.

Note: There are (2) IP addresses to remember; the local area network (LAN) IP

address (the one for the DVR) and the wide area network (WAN) or Internet Address

the one to your Modem. The LAN address is used to operate your DVR from

computers inside your network (at home or business). The WAN address is used to

operate your DVR from the internet (remote locations).

3.7.1.3 ADSL

To use a DSL service, a User Name and Password may be required by your DSL provider.

Contact your DSL’s customer service. If you are using a modem connected to a router,

refer to the previous sections to set up your DVR’s LAN (Manual or DHCP) connection first.
