EverFocus ENVR8304D User Manual page 107

Network Type: Three options are selectable: Static IP, DHCP and PPPoE.
Static IP: User can set a fixed IP for network connection.
DHCP: DHCP server in LAN will automatically assign an IP configuration for the network
connection.
PPPoE: For direct connection to the DSL only. Verify with your ISP if they use PPPoE.
IP address: Displays the NVR's current IP Address. A static IP address must be set manually.
If DHCP is selected, this value will be assigned automatically.
Subnet Mask: Displays the subnet mask for your network so the NVR will be recognized
within the network. If DHCP is selected, this value will be assigned automatically.
Gateway: Displays the gateway on your network for the NVR to use when communicating
with any devices not on the local network. If DHCP is selected, this value will be assigned
automatically.
DNS Server 1: Displays the primary DNS server for your network. If DHCP is selected and an
internet connection is available, this value should be assigned automatically. This field
must have a valid DNS address in order to use the DDNS feature (see 6.6.3 DDNS).
DNS Server 2: This field shows the secondary DNS server for your network.
HTTP Port: Port number for HTTP/WEB communication.
Bandwidth Limit (Kbps): Specify, disabled / 128 K/ 256 K / 512 K / 768K / 1M / 3M bps. This
is the maximum bandwidth that the NVR is allowed to use on the network. This is a useful
function when connecting the NVR to busy or heavily loaded networks, or when accessing
the NVR(s) over a WAN.
Connect: Click to test the network connection.
Additional information:
1. Set up the NVR Network Menu according to the instructions detailed in the Networking
chapter of this NVR's manual.
a. If using DHCP, all settings will be detected automatically. While DHCP is a useful
tool for determining the network settings, if you set up your NVR in this manner its
IP address may change at different times for different reasons, particularly after a
power failure. If the IP address of the NVR changes, you may have difficulties
accessing your NVR locally and/or remotely. It is strongly recommended that you
assign a fixed (static) IP address to your NVR, and that in order to avoid address
conflicts the IP address assigned be outside of the DHCP range of addresses your
router issues to DHCP clients. Please do not set the DHCP address issued to the NVR
by the router as its static IP address unless you take specific steps that program
your router to prevent such address conflicts.
b. If using a Fixed IP (recommended), you will need to input the information manually.
In order for DDNS to work, you must enter valid data, compatible with your
