automatically assign your DVR an IP address when it connects. It will also assign it the proper
subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS "Domain Name Server" address. Using your mouse,
check DHCP, click <APPLY>, uncheck DHCP, then click <Apply> again. This short procedure
will auto fill the boxes on the setup page for you. Write down the following information that you
have just collected:

Keep this information with the DVR for future reference.
Note: You should now be able to access your DVR on a computer that is connected to the
same router. This is your Local Area Network (LAN). Type the new IP address of the DVR into
the address bar of Internet Explorer. As shown above, you would type: 192.168.0.19 into the IE
address bar. You will be prompted to download an Active X file. This is the viewer program,
Client V3, stored in the DVR asking to be installed on your computer. Follow the prompts to
complete the installation of Client V3.
To access the DVR remotely over the WAN (aka internet), you will need to configure your
router to allow access to the DVR from internet. Typically, you will need to "port forward" the
DVR HTTP port. This allows the router to automatically send requests to your DVR when you
connect remotely. For more information on port forwarding, go to portforward.com or call
Security Labs customer service to help you configure your system.
【UPnP】"Universal Plug and Play" When checked, the DVR will send discovery information to
the network. The efault setting for UPnP is off.
【IP Address】 This is the LAN "Local Area Network" address of the DVR. It is important to
know this address when connecting to the DVR from the LAN or WAN "Wide Area Network"
