: DNS1 is the primary DNS (Domain Name Server) server and DNS2 is a backup domain name server. A DNS
server translates a website host name (such as ESPN.com) to the IP address understood by routers on the internet. The

6.1.2 Port Configuration
The Port configuration menu is used to adjust the Ethernet ports used to address the Web, Media, RSTP and HTTPS services.

The port feature supports UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) a useful feature for automatically port forwarding a router for direct access
to the recorder from Internet. The Port configuration menu is shown below.
