5.4 Network
This menu allows you to configure network parameters, such as PPPoE, DHCP. The most common types are DHCP.
Most probably your network type is DHCP, unless the network is manually addressed. If you need an authentication
user name and password to the Internet, then choose PPPoE.
5.4.1 General
If you connect to a router allows to use DHCP, please check the DHCP box. The router will assign automatically all
the network parameters for your Wireless NVR. Unless the network is manually addressed below parameters:
IP Address: The IP address identifies the Wireless NVR in the network. It consists of four groups of numbers between
0 to 255, separated by periods. For example, “192.168.001.100”.
Subnet Mask: Subnet mask is a network parameter which defines a range of IP addresses that can be used in a
network. If IP address is like a street where you live then subnet mask is like a neighbourhood. The subnet address
also consists of four groups of numbers, separated by periods. For example, “255.255.000.000”.
Gateway: This address allows the Wireless NVR to access the Internet. The format of the Gateway address is the
same as the IP Address. For example, “192.168.001.001”.
DNS1/DNS2: DNS1 is the primary DNS server and DNS2 is a backup DNS server. Usually should be enough just to
enter the DNS1 server address.
