Network parameters, platform access settings, and network services are configurable.
4.1 Network Parameter Settings
You shall configure network parameters before using functions that require network access.
4.1.1 Configure TCP/IP
TCP/IP must be properly configured before you operate video recorder over network or access
network devices.
Steps
1. Go to System → System Settings → Network → Network → TCP/IP .
2. Set Working Mode and Select NIC.
Multi-address
The parameters of the two NIC cards can be configured independently. You can select LAN1
or LAN2 in the NIC type field for parameter settings. You can select one NIC card as default
route. And then the system is connecting with the extranet and the data will be forwarded
through the default route.
Net-fault Tolerance
The two NIC cards use the same IP address, and you can set Main NIC to LAN1 or LAN2. By
this way, in case of one NIC card failure, the video recorder will automatically enable the
other standby NIC card so as to ensure the normal running of the whole system.
