Direct High-Speed Connection

In a Direct High-Speed Connection, the NVR connects directly to a modem without the
need for a router. You need to set the static or dynamic WAN IP address assigned by your
ISP (Internet Service Provider) in the NVR's configuration web pages. To access the NVR,
just type "http://xxx", where xxx is the IP address given by your ISP. If you have a dynamic
IP address, this connection may require that you use DDNS for a reliable connection.
Connection Procedure:

you can not use a cross-over network cable for this application
