7.1 PC Connection through Local Area Network

Here is an example that shows how to find the basic network information from the local area network (hub).

Search Router IP Address

Please click “Start” and then “Run” option under Windows. Please enter “CMD” and then “OK”

Please enter “ipconfig” on DOS prompt, and then record the Address Number of Default Gateway as shown: It is the Router‟s IP Address.

91

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.
