Specify whether the system is connected to the Internet and click Next.

If you have chosen No, wait for the test to nish and then click Finish to exit Network Wizard.

Select Network Conguration and then click Next. Select either Auto Conguration or Manual Conguration and then click Test to test the system's current network conguration.

• This test must be performed before proceeding to the next step.

• If the NVR is on a network connected to a network that has a DHCP server, selecting Auto Conguration retrieves LAN settings such as IP and DNS addresses automatically. Selecting Manual Conguration, on the other hand, lets you specify the settings manually.

• UPnP support device not found. If this error message is displayed, check to see if the IP router (or NAT) supports UPnP and if UPnP has been enabled. For more information about the router's UPnP function, refer to the router's operation manual.

Enter in the Device Name eld the NVR name to be registered on the FEN server and then click Check to check its availability.

• The device name you register on the FEN server will be a unique name used to identify the NVR. Once registered, the name can be used to access the NVR directly from clients such as iRAS . Check the name's availability to complete the registration process. The Finish button will then become activated.

• You will be prompted with an error message if you do not enter a name for the NVR or enter a name already registered on the FEN server.

• Depending on the network environment, FEN services may not be active and therefore prevent the NVR from connecting to the network. In this case, you will need to manually congure the ports. For more information on port conguration, refer to Network Setup on page 54.

Click Finish to exit Network Wizard.

Part 2 - Getting Started

Camera Registration

Once Network Setup Wizard is complete, 16-channel analog cameras are automatically registered and click the Scan button to scan for network cameras connected to NVR. By deleting some or all of the 16 registered analog cameras, you can register analog and/or network IP cameras, up to 32 cameras (User determines exact combination with a maximum of 16 analog inputs).

• Title: Indicates the camera's title. Left-click on the title to edit the camera's title.

• MAC Address: Displays the last 6 digits of the camera's MAC address.

• Address: Indicates the camera's searched IP address.

• Model: Indicates the network camera's model or "analog" if they are the analog cameras.

Device Scan

Click the "Scan" button and the Device Scan screen appears.

Some functions may not be supported for the third party cameras depending on their protocol and model.

• Protocol: Select the protocol used by the camera (or video encoder) you wish to search for.

Even if the network device uses a protocol supported by the NVR, the device itself may not be visible for scanning and registration by the NVR. For more information about supported network devices and models, contact your retailer.

• Mode: Select the scan mode.

- Auto Scan (LAN): Lists cameras in a LAN environment. If Auto Scan (LAN) fails to recognize a camera, try using IP Address Scan instead.

- IP Address Scan: Enter the IP address of a camera. The NVR scans for the camera matching the specied address. If you enter IP address's range, the NVR scans for cameras falling under the specied address's range. By specifying an IP address, you can also specify which port to use with the Remote Admin feature. It is recommended that the camera not be networked via DHCP (Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol). If the camera is networked via DHCP, connection to the camera may not be made properly depending on changes in the external network environment.

1 Mac Address: Displays the last 6 digits of the

camera's MAC address.

2 Address: Indicates the camera's searched IP address.

3 Model: Indicates the network camera's model or

"analog" if they are the analog cameras.

4 Name: Indicates the camera's name.

5 Status: Identies the camera's registration status

"registered" or "not registered."

Part 2 - Getting Started

Advanced Setup: Video In IP Setup

If the camera is networked but not scanned, use this setup. This setup allows you to change the network setting of the NVR's VIDEO IN port which is camera's network environment. Check the camera's network setting rst before you use this setup.

Make sure that this setting does not conict with the WAN setting. For more information on the WAN setting, Refer to WAN on page 56.

- Link-local address: Indicates the default IP address.

- Manual: Allows you to enter the IP address and other network settings manually.

- DHCP Client: Retrieves an IP address and other network settings automatically from a DHCP server.

- DHCP Server: It makes the NVR run as a DHCP server. Check if there is any DHCP server in the same network. If there is no DHCP server, this option is enabled. The NVR allocates an IP address automatically in the range of 10.10.0.128 to 10.10.254.254 by using DHCP to the camera connected to the NVR's VIDEO IN port. On DHCP Server, Video In Network is connected between NVR and network cameras only, so Gateway does not have any meaning. Subnet Mask is

255.255.0.0(Class B).

• When several NVRs exist in the same network, only one of NVRs has to be run as a DHCP server. If several DHCP servers are running, the redundant IP may be allocated to the camera.

• The range of 10.10.0.1 to 10.10.0.127 is not recommended because NVR system already has the IP address.

Part 2 - Getting Started

Select Scan to commence scanning.

• Only cameras that are connected to the NVR via VIDEO IN ports can be scanned and registered.

Select a camera from the scan list and then select Add Camera. The device login window will appear.

Enter a User ID and a Password for the selected camera.

- Apply to All Devices: Selects to apply the same user and password to all selected devices if you selected more than one device and the selected devices have the same user ID and password.

Camera Registration Mode
