5.4 Network
This menu allows you to configure network parameters, such as PPPoE and DHCP. The most
common types of networks are DHCP, so your network is most likely DHCP unless the network
is manually addressed. If you need to authenticate the user name and password for the Internet,
then choose PPPoE.
5.4.1.1
General
If your connected router allows the use of DHCP, please check the
DHCP
box. The router will
automatically assign all the network parameters for your NVR. If you network needs to be
manually addressed you can do so under the Parameters tab:
IP Address
: The IP address identifies the NVR in the network. It consists of four groups of
numbers from 0 to 255, separated by periods. For example, “192.168.001.100”.
Subnet Mask
: Subnet mask is a network parameter that defines a range of IP addresses that can
be used in a network. If an IP address is like a street where you live then a subnet mask is like a
neighborhood. The subnet address also consists of four groups of numbers, separated by periods.
For example, “255.255.000.000”.
Gateway
: This address allows the NVR to access the Internet. The format of the
Gateway
address is the same as the
IP Address
. For example, “192.168.001.001”.
