Configuring the Unit

The unit can be configured either on the local monitor or over the network using a PC with Internet
Explorer or similar browser. Both methods have identical interfaces.

Accessing the menus on a local monitor

1. The Configuration pages can be displayed on the local monitor by pressing the MENU
button on the Remote Control.
Note: If the IR Remote Control does not open the menu, press the DVR button on the Remote to
make sure it is in DVR mode, then press the MENU button again.
Please refer to section; 'How to navigate the pages', for guidance on navigating the local monitor
configuration pages.

Locating the Unit IP address

The IP address of the unit is required to access these pages. The SD unit's IP address can be
identified from the local menu pages. Using the local monitor, press the MENU button and then
navigate to the Network menu to find the DHCP assigned IP address.
If DNS is not to be used, it is important to set a fixed IP address so that the same URL can be
entered to contact the unit every time.
If a permanent IP address is not assigned to the unit, it will attempt to contact the DHCP server
every time it starts up. If for any reason, a DHCP server cannot allocate an IP address to the unit,
the encoder will use a default IP address. It is recommended that DNS (Domain Name Server) be
used as assigning a name makes it easier for a remote user to locate the unit.
