2. CONFIGURING THE DVR WITH A ROUTER INTO A LAN
The majority of any network will often consist of a single IP address which shares the
Internet access through a router. This IP address may be any external (public) static IP
address or any dynamic IP address issued by the Internet Service Provider.
The purpose of a router is to enable multiple personal computers and any other devices
that require Internet connection to access the internet simultaneously. Most routers by
default enable (open) commonly used ports so that mainstream applications such as
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP, Port 80), File Transfer Protocol (FTP, Port 21),
Telnet (Port 23) and Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3, Port 110) are used.
Over the next pages, Linksys WRT54G was used to illustrate a sample procedure.
