Network Settings

Click Network to display, edit and refine the settings for:
• TCP/IP - used by the Video Server for transmitting data over the network.
• DNS (Domain Name System) - the Internet service used by the product for translating
domain names into IP addresses.
• SMTP (E-mail) - this is the protocol used for notifying the administrator via e-mail when e.g.
the ip address of the video server has changed in a DHCP network.
• Miscellaneous - set the network media and to restrict the bandwidth used by the product.
Configure the Network Settings with reference to the on-line help and the table below:

This does not normally need to be changed, but if you have specific needs - due to the use of network
switches or similar equipment, select the type of network media here.
With the default set to unlimited, this parameter defines a restriction on the network bandwidth used by
the video server; particularly useful for a connection to a busy network.
