DHCP: This field represents DHCP which stands for Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol. DHCP's purpose is to enable individual
computers on an IP network to extract their configurations from a server
(the 'DHCP server') or servers, in particular, servers that have no exact
information about the individual computers until they request the
information.
Yes: Turns DHCP on and the IP Address will be picked up
automatically.
No: Turns DHCP off and the IP Address will be have to be entered
in manually. An screen shot is shown on the next page.
IP Address: This field is to set a static IP Address for the DVR. A static
IP address is an IP address whose value does not change. Everfocus
suggest using a static IP address. If your Internet provider does not offer
a static IP address you have the option to use a dynamic IP address. For
Example: A Test IP address given to the machine by our engineers is
192.168.010. When DHCP is YES, the DHCP server will assign this
value automatically.
Note: The Addresses in the machine are for our own testing
you must apply your own addresses to comply with your
network. Refer to Networking Chapter for more details.
SUBNET MASK: This field is to set the subnet mask for your network
so as the DVR will be recognized within the network. Example:
255.255.255.000.

DVR will be recognized within the network. An example of this is
provided within the DVR we use to test the machine within our own
network.
DNS SERVER: This field is to set the DNS server for your network so
the DVR will be recognized within the network.
