FIND YoUR EXTERNAL IP
Now you will need to find your external IP address. This will be the
address you will be entering in order to access the DVR from outside
your network (over the internet).
There are many ways to find your external IP address. The simplest
way is to go to
http://www.whatsmyip.org
. This site will display your
external IP address in the top portion of the screen. If you go to http://
www.portforward.com
, it will also display this IP address. Write it
down on the second page marked EXTERNAL IP.
TEST YoUR EXTERNAL IP
Now that you know your external IP address, you can perform a test to en-
sure your DVR is accessible from outside your network (over the internet).
1. Open Internet Explorer, and in the address bar type in the EX-
TERNAL IP address, followed by a colon and your port num-
ber (default is port 2000). It should similar to the following 2
examples:14.14.243.113 :2000 OR 14.14.243.113:2000
2. Press ENTER, and your DVR’s login window should pop up. If it
does not pop up, your router is not properly forwarding the neces
-
sary port. This could be due to a number of problems including
incorrect settings, presence of a firewall, or a DSL modem that has
its own IP address.
If your DSL modem has its own internal IP address, it will not properly
forward the necessary port. You may have to configure PPPoE settings
in the DVR to match the settings provided to you by your Internet
Service Provider (ISP). Consult your ISP for more information. DE-
FENDER technical support cannot troubleshoot modems, since chang-
ing these settings can potentially render your modem inoperable.
See section Advanced Network Setup for PPPoE configuration instruc-
tions in your user manual.
You should also check all your network connections and go through the
above steps again to make sure a configuration error was not made.
