• DSCP Settings
For each type of network traffic supported by your network video product, enter a DSCP
(Differentiated Services Code Point) value. This value is used to mark the traffic’s IP header.
When the marked traffic reaches a network router or switch, the DSCP value in the IP header tell
the router or switch which type of treatment to apply to this type of traffic, for example, how much
bandwidth to reserve for it. Note that DSCP values can be entered in decimal or hex form, but
saved values are always shown in decimal.
The following types of traffic are marked:
-.
Live Stream DSCP:
-.
Event/Alarm DSCP:
-.
Management DSCP:

A broadband router allows devices on a private network (LAN) to share a single connection to the
Internet. This is done by forwarding network traffic from the private network to the “outside”, that is, the
Internet. Security on the private network (LAN) is increased since most broadband routers are pre-
configured to stop attempts to access the private network (LAN) from the public network/Internet.
