The MX4 Plus DVR has a built-in Ethernet interface for connecting to a computer or
the Smart-Reach
®
mobile wireless bridge equipment. See Figure 1-2, “Typical Plus
System” on page 1–3.
To connect using the network connection, each host (computer) connected to the
network must have a unique IP address. A qualified IT administrator is required to
provide information about the network settings and to configure the Network settings,
DDNS settings, and E-mail settings.
Use the Network settings menu to set the network communication parameters
necessary to use the Smart-Reach Mobile wireless bridge equipment and Ethernet on
the MX4 Plus DVR.
Important: In order for the DVR to communicate with other network equipment, the IP Address,
Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway settings should be assigned by the system administrator. If not set
correctly, communication failure will result.
Tip: To perform any additional configuration, assign an IP address, reset the Smart-Reach Mobile
wireless bridge or operating information, contact Customer Service.
