3.6 Configuring Subnet Mask
This is a mask used to divide an IP Address into subnets. Basically, it tells the computer how
much of the IP Address defines the network, and how much may be used by computers on the
network. For most networks, the first three parts of the IP address define the network (i.e.,
every computer on the network must have the same values), and the last part defines the
computer (i.e., every computer on the network must have a different value). Where the value
255 appears in the subnet mask, the values define the network and must be the same.
The most common value is 255.255.255.0.
If the “DHCP” parameter is set to “Yes”, you do not need to configure this parameter. If the
“DHCP” parameter is set to “No”, you will need to configure this parameter.
3.7 Configuring Default Gateway
This is the IP address of the router.
If the “DHCP” parameter is set to “Yes”, you do not need to
configure this
parameter. If the “DHCP” parameter is set to “No”, you will need to configure this
parameter.
3.8 Configuring Default DNS
This is the IP address of a computer on the Internet that can identify and locate computer
systems and resources on the internet. In most cases, this should not be required by the
VDR100 and may be left blank.
If the “DHCP” parameter is set to “No”, you will need to
configure this parameter.
4 Usage
4.1 Recording Data
To record data, plug a USB flash drive into the Type A USB connector on the VDR100.
A waterproof cover accessory is available that will allow the USB port to be made waterproof
with a USB flash drive installed, although this cover will not fit all USB flash drives, so please
check the dimensions of the USB flash drive to be sure that the waterproof cover accessory
will fit over the drive.
4.2 USB Flash Drive Selection
4.2.1 USB Flash Drives
WARNING
Because of the methods that the VDR100 records every frame of network data
for quick retrieval and analysis, the VDR100 must only be used with a high
performance USB flash drive from the list of supported USB flash drives.
