be referred to simply as 'the switch' within this manual. This manual is written in a way that assumes

surveillance and IP security devices on your network.
To switch between the two types of interfaces, you can re-run the Smart Wizard that is presented
when you access the web interface of the device. For more information, please refer to the Web UI
Interface Guide for the appropriate mode.
