12.1 Configuring the General Settings
Network settings must be properly configured before you can operate the DVR over a network.
Steps:
1.
Go to
Menu > Configuration > Network > General
.
Network Settings Interface
2.
On the <General Settings> interface, you can configure the following parameters: <Working
Mode> (applicable for GD-RT-AT5016N), <NIC Type>, <IPv4 Address>, <IPv4 Gateway>, <MTU>,
<DNS Server> and <Main NIC>.
<Working Mode>
There are two 10M/100M/1000M NIC cards provided by GD-RT-AT5016N, and they allow the
device to work in Multi-address and Net-fault Tolerance.
<Multi-address Mode>:
The parameters of the two NIC cards can be configured
independently. You can select <LAN1> or <LAN2> in the <NIC Type> field under the
parameter settings.
You can select one NIC card as the default route. Then the system connects with the
extranet and the data will be forwarded through the default route.
<Net-fault Tolerance Mode>:
The two NIC cards use the same IP address and you can
select the Main NIC to <LAN1> or <LAN2>. This way, in case one NIC card fails, the device
will automatically enable the standby NIC card so as to ensure the continued running of
the whole system.
