ENDSS-4C8
Find out your DVR IP address
Now we know the Router IP address is 192.168.11.1. Generally the usable IP Address is from 192.168.11.2~192.168.11.253. The suggested IP Address available for assigned to other network devices is from
192.168.11.160 to 192.168.11.199.
Find out the available IP address
Please enter ping 192.168.11.189” on DOS prompt (as shown in the following figure). When “Reply from 192.168.11.189: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128” appears, as in the
following illustration, that means this IP Address 192.168.11.189 is occupied by another network device.
Please try to find another available IP address. Enter ping 192.168.11.188” on DOS prompt. If “Request timed out” appears, it means this IP address is not being used now and can
be used for the DVR.
