Network Configuration Page
·
DHCP
: Allows the unit to request a dynamic IP address from a server on the network when Enabled.
The default is Disabled, or static IP addressing.
·
Gateway (IPv4)
: The IP address of the network gateway bridging your private network (LAN) to the
public internet network. This is required if the unit needs to reach any services on the internet, such
as a public email or NTP server. If DHCP is Enabled, this field will automatically be filled in when the
DHCP service assigns the unit an IP address.
·
IP Address
: Displays the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses currently being used by the unit. Clicking on the
Modify icon will allow you to change the unit's IPv4 address and Netmask. Note: If DHCP is
enabled, then there will be no Modify icon, indicating that this address can't be changed by the user.
The IPv6 address is a "Link Local" address inherent to the unit, and cannot be changed.
·
DNS:
Allows the unit to resolve host names for email, NTP, and SNMP servers as well as cameras.
