7.6 Network

The IP address can be set as static or as dynamic.
The static service consists of an IP address that remains constant for the duration of the
contract of the internet service. The dynamic service consists of an IP address that frequently
changes every time a new connection is made through the provided modem, or recurrently in
a given period of time. Though most internet service providers offer both solutions, this
manual will distinguish the two solutions according to the commonly available service type to
configure the DVR for the networking purposes.

7.6.1 Ethernet

1. Static IP:
If the static IP is selected, the following settings are available:
IP address: Enter the static IP address
Netmask: Enter the IP address of subnet mask.
Gateway: Enter the IP address for the Internet gateway server.
PRI.DNS server: Verify the name of the domain name system.
SEC.DNS server: Enter the IP address of the backup domain name system (DNS)
server that the DVR will use to convert name to IP address. This server is used if
the primary DNS server fails.
Note: If you do not set up the DNS server correctly, it will may have problems to
send e-mails.
2. DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.
It is automatically set by a local DHCP if there is one (i.e. a local router). If the DHCP is
set to "ON", the IP address, gateway and subnet mask will be assigned by the DHCP
server.(i.e.the local area network router).
