The page configures the network connection to the NVR and displays current settings.
System Name: This field can be edited to allocate a name to the unit. This would be used if
accessing the unit using a Domain Name Server (DNS). The setting is the same as the system name
displayed in the System Attributes menu and defaults to the unit serial number.
IP Address: IP Address is a 32-bit number that uniquely identifies a unit on a TCP/IP network. To
set DHCP usage and obtain an IP address from the general/corporate network set address to
0.0.0.0
Sub Net: Subnet mask is used by the TCP/IP protocol to determine whether the host
communicating with the NVR is on the local subnet or on a remote network. Subnets are
determined by the class (A, B, or C) of TCP/IP network and by how much the network has been
further divided (sub-netted), by a system administrator.
Gateway: If the unit communicates with a host on another subnet, it will talk through a device
called a router which links the NVR subnet to other networks, the IP address of this router is called
a default gateway.
Primary DNS: This is the primary DNS server IP address for applications that are using domain
names. If you want to use other DNS addresses from other units sitting on another domain on the
internet you need to add the IP address of your domains DNS server. This is done in this Primary
DNS setting. Adding the primary DNS server just means that the unit can use DNS names that that
the primary DNS server can see. It should be noted that DNS works hierarchically, such that firstly
any DNS enabled product will look at it local hosts.ini entries first. If it cannot find any reference
there it looks in the DNS mapping in its primary DNS server and if it is not there this will be
referred out further.
