This is the NETWORK SETUP screen.
This is the most technically complex aspect to setting up the DVR, and does
require a working knowledge of network technologies.
If you are unfamiliar with networking, then we suggest talking with a professional -
ideally, the same person who installed your network, as they’ll know exactly how it’s
confi gured and how best to setup the DVR.
Confi guring your DVR and your home network can be a tricky process - and these
two pages are not nearly long enough to cover it. See
“Remote Access” on page

(and what follows) for more information.
TYPE:
Here you can choose between the three diff erent types of networks that the
DVR can be connected to. The three types of networks are:
DHCP
: DHCP (Dynamic Host Confi guration Protocol) is a system where one de-
vice on your network (usually a router) will automatically assign IP addresses to
devices connected to the network.
STATIC
: Static networks require all devices need to have their IP addresses manu-
ally defi ned, as there is no device dedicated to automatically assigning addresses.
PPPoE
: PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol Over Ethernet) is an advanced protocol
which allows the DVR to be connected directly to a DSL line, without the need for
a router or gateway.
This protocol is for advanced users only.
