 Web Port

Enter the port number to use when connecting from the Web Browser.

53 | Chapter 1 : DVR User Manual

NOTE

TCP/IP Port, Mobile Port, and Web Port should be a different number from each other.

NOTE

The system transfers video images at real-time over the network even during no record. For example, user can monitor live video even when motion has not occurred during motion detection mode.

NOTE

If there is no physical network connection, it may take a few minutes for the system to start working, since the network configuration in DHCP mode and the DHCP connection cannot be made.

 UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) and Auto Private IP Setup (NAT Traversal)

UPnP stands for Universal Plug and Play, which indicates a universal protocol for widespread plug-and-play devices to ease the network implementation. When a PC and a DVR both installed the UPnP function, the PC can automatically recognize the DVR in the same local area network. The advantage of this function is that a PC can connect to the DVR directly by clicking on the icon representing the DVR in <My Network Places> folder as shown below. The first five characters of the file name of a detected DVR is subject to a firmware version

Simply double click on the desired icon. Then, it will open an internet browser that connects to the DVR via the remote control software as shown below. Please type in your User ID and Password to login and click ‘Connect’ button to connect.

 Auto Private IP Setup (NAT Traversal)

The UPnP NAT Traversal function will help to automatically setup a router if the DVR connects to the internet via a router.

When a PC connects to a DVR, which is not in the same local area network, a real IPO address and corresponding port number is required. However if the DVR is behind a router, the communication between the PC and the DVR will be transmitted back and forth by the router. The router will need to setup port mapping (Port Forwarding) before images from the DVR is remotely viewed on the PC. For each individual DVR, the setting needs to be done individually.

If the DVR has UPnP NAT traversal function, the setting of the router will be done automatically when it is enabled.

Just check ‘Auto IP (NAT Traversal)’ check box in the UPnP setup menu. Then it will take care of Auto IP detect by itself.
