SECTION 6: NETWORK CONFIGURATION

6.1.2 Port Configuration

The Port configuration menu is used to adjust the Ethernet ports used to address the Web, Media, RSTP and HTTPS services.
Normally these ports numbers do not need to change unless the ports are also used by other devices.
The port feature supports UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) a useful feature for automatically port forwarding a router for direct access
to the recorder from Internet. The Port configuration menu is shown below.
Port configuration parameters include the following.
Web Port: This port is used to log in remotely to the recorder (e.g. using the Web Client). If the default port 80 is already
—
taken by other applications, please change it.
Client Port: This is the port the recorder will use to send information. If the default port 9000 is already taken by other
—
applications, please change it.
RTSP Port: Default is 1050, if the default port 1050 is already taken by other applications, please change it.
—
UPNP: If you want to log in to the recorder remotely using a Web Client, you need to port forward the router for your
—
recorder. If your router supports UPnP, you can enable it both in the router and recorder to automatically setup port
forwarding for a remote login. Otherwise, it must be setup manually.
Adjust the port configuration parameters as needed, and then click Apply. Right click the mouse to return to the Main menu.

6.2 DDNS settings

This menu allows you to configure DDNS settings. The DDNS provides a static address to simplify remote connection to your
remotely. To use the DDNS, you first need to open an account on the DDNS service provider's web page.
Observint technologies recommends a P2P DDNS service. Options include No-IP, DYNDNS, DDNS_3322, CHANGEIP, and DNSEXIT.
