Network Setup
If the recorder is on a network, follow these steps. If not, just accept
all defaults through this section.
Choose your network card type.
The default choice, self-adaptive, is
ideal for most installations. However,
if you have expert knowledge of the
system, you can adjust the settings as
needed.
The default setting for your system is
to have DHCP enabled, shown by the
check mark in the Enable DHCP box.
We suggest that you leave DHCP
enabled so your system can auto-
detect and set up the necessary
protocols. This will handle all the
settings needed for most installations.
With DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol), your device
automatically connects to other DHCP-enabled devices on the
network. If this does not find your cameras or other devices, deselect
Enable DHCP
. This activates the various text boxes below, so you
can enter network settings manually. See the manuals for your other
devices for details.
Either way, disable DHCP once all cameras are found.
In the next screen, the system detects all of the hard drives on the
system and lists them.
You don’t need to do anything on this
screen, other than verify that all the
hard drives are listed (if not, consult
your manual).
If you wish to purge any hard drives
of old data, you can press the
Init
button. Caution: Data cannot be
recovered after this purge!
