- DHCP
This item allows user to obtain a dynamic IP address from DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server when the unit boots up.
When using DHCP, the settings are dynamic and they will be changed
every time users power up and power off the unit, depending on the
network's setup.
If the item is enabled (ON), a dynamic IP will be assigned to the
Premium H.264 DVR. In this case, user does not need to configure a
static IP and the Ethernet settings, including IP address, Netmask,
Gateway and DNS settings, will be read only.
If users are using permanent addressing, set DHCP to <OFF> for
setting the IP Address, Netmask, Gateway, and DNS. Check with the
network system administrators or IT personnel for appropriate values
for these settings.

User’s Manual
- IP
The item is used to configure the IP (Internet Protocol) address of the
unit. The IP address is the identifier for the computer or device on a
TCP/IP LAN or WAN. Please note that to set a static IP address, DHCP
must be set to <OFF>.
NOTE: The IP address cannot be set to “192.168.50.*” due to

- Netmask
A netmask is a 32-bit mask used to divide an IP address into subnets
and specify the networks available hosts. Its value is defined by the

have to memorize IP address but just the domain names, which are
easier to be memorized.
The item allows users to specify the IP address of the Domain Name

- Operating Mode
Devices in a wireless network are set up to either communicate
indirectly through a central place -- an Access Point (AP); or directly,
one to the other. The prior one is called "Infrastructure Mode" and the
other one is called "Ad Hoc Mode” (also referred as peer-to-peer).
Ad Hoc Mode does not require an Access Point. It is easier to set up,
especially in a small or temporary network.
22

NOTE: Users may select either mode for the wireless network.
However, all devices communicating directly with each other
must operate under the same mode.

- Network Authentication
For additional security on the wireless network, the Authentication type
can also be set when Encryption is enabled.
If <Shared> is chosen, the Access Point will not be available on the
wireless network except to those wireless clients that share the same
WEP (short for Wired Equivalent Privacy) key.
If <Open> System is chosen, only those wireless clients with the same
WEP key will be able to communicate on the wireless network, but the
Access Point will be visible to all devices on the network.
24
NOTE: Wired Equivalent Privacy is a security protocol for
WLANs defined in the 802.11b standard. WEP aims to provide
security by encrypting data over radio waves so that it is
protected when the data is transmitting from one end point to
another.
User’s Manual
- Data Encryption
This function is used to translate the data into a secret code. Data
encryption is the most efficient way to achieve data security. To read an
encrypted file, users must have access to a secret key or password
that enables users to decrypt it.
Once users enable this function, users have to specify the secret key
level (64 bits or 128 bits) and key index.
- Data Encryption Level
This item allows users to select the data privacy algorithm, including 64
or 128 bits WEP type. If users select 64 or 128 bits WEP type, a set of
WEP key will be generated. 128 bits WEP type provides higher secure
level than 64 bits WEP type.
If <64bits> is chosen, then 10 hexadecimal digits can be entered for
<Enter Network Key>; and 26 hexadecimal digits for <128bits>.
NOTE: A hexadecimal digit values in the range of 0~9, A~F and
a~f, e.g. abcde12345.
- Key Index
Key index refers to the location where the secret key is stored. Users
can select from 1 to 4. The option users selected here should be
corresponding to Wireless USB Adapter’s setting.
