Figure 12. 9 NTP Settings Interface
3. Check the Enable NTP checkbox to enable this feature.
4. Configure the following NTP settings:
•
Interval: Time interval between the two synchronizing actions with NTP server. The unit is minute.
•
NTP Server: IP address of NTP server.
•
NTP Port: Port of NTP server.
5. Click the Apply button to save and exit the interface.
The time synchronization interval can be set from 1 to 10080 minutes, and the default value is 60 minutes. If the
DVR is connected to a public network, you should use a NTP server that has a time synchronization function, such
as the server at the National Time Center (IP Address: 210.72.145.44). If the DVR is set in a more customized
network, NTP software can be used to establish a NTP server used for time synchronization.
12.2.5 Configuring NAT
Purpose:
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP™) can permit the device seamlessly discover the presence of other network
devices on the network and establish functional network services for data sharing, communications, etc. You can
use the UPnP™ function to enable the fast connection of the device to the WAN via a router without port mapping.
Before you start:
If you want to enable the UPnP™ function of the device, you must enable the UPnP™ function of the router to
which your device is connected. When the network working mode of the device is set as multi-address, the Default
Route of the device should be in the same network segment as that of the LAN IP address of the router.
Steps:
1. Enter the Network Settings interface.
Menu > Configuration > Network
2. Select the NAT tab to enter the UPnP™ Settings interface.
