Figure 2-24

2.7 Network

Here is for you to input network information.

The single network adapter interface is shown as in Figure 2-25 and the dual network adapters

interface is shown as in Figure 2-26.

z IP Version: There are two options: IPv4 and IPv6. Right now, system supports these two IP

address format and you can access via them.

z MAC address: The host in the LAN can get a unique MAC address. It is for you to access in the

LAN. It is read-only.

z IP address: Here you can use up/down button (

ST) or input the corresponding number to

input IP address. Then you can set the corresponding subnet mask the default gateway.

z Subnet prefix: The input value ranges from 0 to 128. It is to mark a specified network MAC

address. Usually it includes an organization of multiple-level.

z Default gateway: Here you can input the default gateway. Please note system needs to

check the validity of all IPv6 addresses. The IP address and the default gateway shall

be in the same IP section. That is to say, the specified length of the subnet prefix shall

have the same string.

z DHCP: It is to auto search IP. When enable DHCP function, you can not modify IP/Subnet

mask /Gateway. These values are from DHCP function. If you have not enabled DHCP

function, IP/Subnet mask/Gateway display as zero. You need to disable DHCP function to

view current IP information. Besides, when PPPoE is operating, you can not modify

IP/Subnet mask /Gateway.

z TCP port: Default value is 37777. You can change if necessary.

z UDP port: Default value is 37778. You can change if necessary.

z HTTP port: Default value is 80.

z HTTPS port: Default value is 443.

z RTSP port: Default value is 554.

Important: System needs to reboot after you changed and saved any setup of the above

four ports. Please make sure the port values here do not conflict.

z Max connection: system support maximal 128 users. 0 means there is no connection limit.

Please input the

corresponding information

here, if you just upload the

image FTP.

29

z MTU: It is to set MTU value of the network adapter. The value ranges from 1280-7200 bytes.

The default setup is 1500 bytes. Please note MTU modification may result in network

adapter reboot and network becomes off. That is to say, MTU modification can affect current

network service. System may pop up dialog box for you to confirm setup when you want to

change MTU setup. Click OK button to confirm current reboot, or you can click Cancel button

to terminate current modification. Before the modification, you can check the MTU of the

gateway; the MTU of the DVR shall be the same as or is lower than the MTU of the gateway.

In this way, you can reduce packets and enhance network transmission efficiency.

The following MTU value is for reference only.

 1500: Ethernet information packet max value and it is also the default value. It is the

typical setup when there is no PPPoE or VPN. It is the default setup of some router,

switch or the network adapter.

 1492: Recommend value for PPPoE.

 1468: Recommend value for DHCP.

z Preferred DNS server: DNS server IP address.

z Alternate DNS server: DNS server alternate address.

z Transfer mode: Here you can select the priority between fluency/video qualities.

z LAN download: System can process the downloaded data first if you enable this function.

The download speed is 1.5X or 2.0X of the normal speed.

z Dual network adapters mode:

 Multiple-address mode: eth0 and eth1 operate separately. You can use the services

such as HTTP, RTP service via etho0 or the eth1 usually you need to set one default

card(default setup is etho) to request the auto network service form the device-end such

as DHCP, email ,FTP and etc. In multiple-address mode, system network status is

shown as offline once one card is offline.

 Network fault-tolerance: In this mode, device uses bond0 to communicate with the

external devices. You can focus on one host IP address. At the same time, you need to

set one master card. Usually there is only one running card (master card).System can

enable alternate card when the master card is malfunction. The system is shown as

offline once these two cards are both offline. Please note these two cards shall be in the

same LAN.

 Load balance: In this mode, device uses bond0 to communicate with the external device.

The eth0 and eth1 are both working now and bearing the network load. Their network

load are general the same. The system is shown as offline once these two cards are

both offline. Please note these two cards shall be in the same LAN.

Important

For the IP address of IPv6 version, default gateway, preferred DNS and alternate DNS, the

input value shall be 128-digit. It shall not be left in blank.

After completing all the setups please click save button, system goes back to the previous menu.
