1. Set up the DVR Network Menu according to the instructions detailed in the Networking chapter of this DVR's

a. If using DHCP, all settings will be detected automatically. While DHCP is a useful tool for determining
the network settings, if you set up your DVR in this manner its IP address may change at different
times for different reasons, particularly after a power failure. If the IP address of the DVR changes,
you may have difficulties accessing your DVR locally and/or remotely. It is strongly recommended
that you assign a fixed (static) IP address to your DVR, and that in order to avoid address
conflicts the IP address assigned be outside of the DHCP range of addresses your router issues to
DHCP clients. Please do not set the DHCP address issued to the DVR by the router as its static IP
address unless you take specific steps that program your router to prevent such address conflicts.
