Accessing & 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 have near identical menu interfaces.
Accessing the menus on a local monitor
1. The Configuration pages can be displayed on a local monitor (connected to BNC
Connector ‘Mon A’ on the rear of the unit). When connected, point the IR Remote
Control at the front of the unit and press the MENU button.
Note: If the IR Remote Control does not open the configuration menus, press the DVR button to
make sure it is in DVR mode, then press the MENU button again.

Locating the Unit IP address
The IP address of the unit is required to access the webpages. It can be identified from the
configuration menu pages using the local monitor, press the MENU button on the IR Remote Control
and navigate to the System Settings->System menu to find the DHCP assigned IP address.
Note: The unit can be installed in a DHCP network environment where an IP address, subnet
mask and default gateway will automatically be allocated from the network DHCP Server
(DHCP is enabled by default).
Note: If a DNS (Domain Name Server) address is not to be used, it is strongly advised that a fixed
IP address be assigned (a DHCP assigned address can change without notification i.e.
following power failure).
A fixed IP address can be assigned via the Network Settings->Network menu.
For information on locating the unit’s IP address via a PC and serial port connection, refer to
Appendix D.
Default DNS Address
It is recommended that a DNS (Domain Name Server) address be configured. Assigning a
recognisable name can help a remote user to locate the unit.
If no System name is allocated to the unit, the default DNS address will be:
machine serial number.yourdomain.com
• <machine serial number> is displayed in the System menu
page and also on the underside of
the unit.
• <yourdomain> is the name assigned to your
DNS network.
The default DNS address can be renamed via the Network Settings->Network menu. Following
renaming, the DNS address will be:
yourname.yourdomain.com
• ’ yourname‘ is the name assigned via the
Network menu.
• <yourdomain> is the name assigned to your
DNS network
