BASIC SETUP
EN
The Setup Wizard
Wizard: Network Settings
NIC Type: What sort of network you're using. There are a few
to choose from. The vast majority of users will use the default
option of 10M/100M/1000M Self-adaptive. If you're using a
network other than this type, chances are you know about
that.
Enable DHCP (checkbox): Ensure that this is checked unless
you're specifically running a manually addressed network
(sometimes called static IP addressing) or your router doesn't
support DHCP.
IPv4 Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway: When
you're using DHCP, these values will self-populate. If you're
using a manually addressed network, you'll need to set these
to match the other devices on your network.
To learn more about the Network settings of the DVR - see
page 19.
When you have completed the setup wizard, it is very
important to check the settings for UPnP on page 20
and More Settings on page 24. The Server Port (8000)
is used to access the DVR remotely using the SwannView
Plus client software on your computer and the SwannView
Plus app on your Smartphone or Tablet.
Wizard: HDD Management
Here, you can view and initialize the hard drive(s) in the DVR.
Typically, there will be only one entry here, the HDD which
came with the DVR (if one was included). Each drive will be
identified and be listed along with statistics such as Capacity,
Status and Free Space.
If you're booting the DVR for the first time, the HDD should
already be initialized or if you've just installed a new HDD,
then you'll need to initialize the drive.
Init: Initializes the HDD so that it's ready to accept data.
Warning: Don't initialize a drive that already has data on it,
as the initialization process will erase any information on the
drive.
