3-5-1. Ports

When connecting 1 or more DVRs to a network through an IP sharing device, each device must have a
unique RTSP port number for access to each unit from outside the LAN. Also, the IP sharing device must be
configured for port forwarding, so that each port, when accessed on the IP sharing device, will forward to the
appropriate DVR. This port number is listed next to the Port menu option in the NETWORK menu. If the user
plans to only access the units from within the same local area network, the RTSP port does not have to be
changed.

Network access beyond Router

In order to access beyond Router (Firewall), user must open 3 TCP ports for Command level, Live
channels, and Storage chan nels. If these all ports are not open properly, user can not access DVR
beyond a router.
If DVR sets port number with 4456 as bellow, user has to open 3 TCP ports (4456, 4457, & 4458).

3-5-2. Network types

There are three network types. Each type requires different settings.
