pertaining to the unit’s network connection are:
Figure 3-24 Network Configuration Page
·
DHCP
: Allows the unit to request a dynamic IP address from a server on the network
when Enabled. The default is Disabled, or static IP addressing.
·
Gateway (IPv4)
: The IP address of the network gateway bridging your private network
(LAN) to the public internet network. This is required if the unit needs to reach any
services on the internet, such as a public email or NTP server. If DHCP is Enabled, this
field will automatically be filled in when the DHCP service assigns the unit an IP address.
·
IP Address
: Displays the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses currently being used by the unit.
Clicking on the Modify icon will allow you to change the unit's IPv4 address and
Netmask. Note: If DHCP is enabled, then there will be no Modify icon, indicating that
this address can't be changed by the user. The IPv6 address is a "Link Local" address
inherent to the unit, and cannot be changed.
·
DNS:
Allows the unit to resolve host names for email, NTP, and SNMP servers as well
as cameras.
