Note: RoadRunner RAS (Remote Access Software) is compatible with Windows 98, 2000 or XP. It is NOT compatible with Mac OS, Windows 95 or NT.
Configuring a laptop to communicate with the RoadRunner DVR is not difficult and simply refers to assigning the laptop
an IP address that is compatible with the default IP address of the DVR. It is similar to having two telephones... If they
had the same phone number they would not be able to call each other. In the same way, the laptop and the DVR must
have different IP addresses.
The RoadRunner DVR has a factory default IP address of 192.168.1.129,
which makes it simple to connect to any RoadRunner DVR you encounter
in the field.
IP Address: (Internet Protocal) There are three parts to an IP address.
Just like a phone number has a country code, area code and exchange,
ie.: 01-555-555-5555, an IP address has the address, the subnet mask
and the gateway.
Generally it will only be necessary to set the laptop’s IP address and
possibly the subnet mask:
192.168.1.130: IP Address
255.255.255.0: Subnet mask
192.168.1.254: Gateway, if needed
