    Chapter 10. Networking Overview This chapter will try to give you a detailed instruction on how to network the DVR. Before we begin the process of networking your digital recorder we should have a working knowledge of what a network is and how it works.

  • Page 95: Virtual Ports

    For example, some Web sites a person visits on the Internet use a URL like the following: http://www.everfocus.com:8100/ In this example, the number 8100 refers to the port number used by the Web browser to connect to the Web server. Normally, a Web site uses port number 80 and this number need not be included with the URL (although it can be).
  • Page 96 That way, you can host a website, email server, or other type of server connection. 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.
