SerVision MVG 400 System Guide

Configuring the MVG 400 63

Note: Most time servers use port 123. If a time server you want to use uses a different

port, you must specify the port after the IP address or hostname. (Separate the address

and the port with a colon (:). For example:

192.168.1.15:345)

2. Click Update, and then save the settings. They will be implemented after the unit is

restarted (see Saving Configuration Changes, page 139).

LAN Settings

The LAN settings define how the MVG 400 should connect to a cabled LAN – an external

network to which it is connected via the Ethernet network cable (connected to the Ethernet

(Out) connector). These settings are only relevant if the unit is connected to an external

network via Ethernet cable (see Setting Up Network Connections, page 25).

The

LAN Settings screen is used to select a connection method – static IP or DHCP – for the

MVG 400 to use when connecting to a cabled LAN. If a static IP is to be used, you must find

out what IP to use, and what the appropriate network settings are for the IP, before you begin:

This information can be acquired from the network administrator.

To adjust the LAN settings:

1. In the Main Menu, under System, click LAN. The LAN Settings screen opens:

Figure 49: LAN Settings screen

2. Under Router, select Enable. (This is selected by default.)

3. If you want a dynamic IP address to be assigned to the unit by a DHCP server on the

external LAN, select the Enable Dynamic IP (DHCP) checkbox.

Note: If this field is selected, you may not be able to access the unit remotely.

Note: If this field is selected, the IP address, Subnet mask, Default Gateway, and

DNS Server fields are not relevant and are hidden.
