the DVR. Before we begin the process of networking your digital recorder we should have a working knowledge of what a network is and how it works. This will be a helpful in completing the networking process.

tworking Overview

This chapter

will try to give you a detailed instruction on how to network

Introduction to TCP/IP

TCP/IP is the suite of protocols used by the Internet and most LANs (Local Area Networks) throughout the world. In TCP/IP, every host (computer or other communications device) that is connected to the network has a unique IP address. By doing this you are giving your device a unique address similar to the address of your house. An IP address is composed of four octets (numbers in the range of 0 to 255) separated by decimal points. The IP address is used to uniquely identify a host or computer on the LAN. For example, a computer with the hostname Workstation could have an IP address of 192.168.1.127.

You should avoid giving two or more computers the same IP address by using the range of IP addresses that are reserved for private, local area networks; this range of IP addresses usually begins with the octets 192.168. The first three octets of an IP address should be the same for all computers in the local area network. For example, if a total of 253 computers exist in a single LAN, the IP addresses could be assigned starting with 192.168.1.x, where x represents a number in the range of 2 to 254.

Subnet Masks

Each host in a LAN has a subnet mask. The subnet mask is an octet that uses the number 255 to represent the network address portion of the IP address and a zero to identify the host portion of the address. For example, the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 is used by each host to determine which LAN or class it belongs to. The zero at the end of the subnet mask represents a unique host within that network. Basically the subnet mask represents the city you live in for your home address, but in this case you are stating the network you belong too.

Page 62

EVERFOCUS ELECTRONICS CORPORATION

Gateway Address

Each host in a LAN has a gateway. A gateway address is compo octets (numbers in the range of 0 to 255) separated by decimal p gateway address is used to uniquely identify a host or computer on the LAN which assigns the IP addresses to your network. Fo an IP address of 192.168.1.1. If you were using t LAN, then your gateway would be the IP address of the Linksys router. The reason addresses for your network therefore the Linksys would be the gateway to your network. This is similar to the zip code of your address.

irtual Ports

A port number represents an endpoint or "channel" for network commu to utilize network resources without interfering with each other. Port numbers most commonly appear in network programming, particularly socket programming. Sometimes, though, port numbers are made visible to the casual user. For example, some Web sites a person visits on the Internet use a URL like the following:

nications. Port numbers allow different applications on the same computer

http://www.everfocus.com:8100/

In this example, the number 8100 refers to the port number used by the Web browser to connect to the Web server. Normally, a Web site uses port number 80 and this number need not be included with the URL (although it can be). In IP networking, port numbers can theoretically range from 0 to 65535. Most popular network applications, though, use port numbers at the low end of the range (such as 80 for HTTP). This could be similar to the front door of your house. Without the door to the h

e same case with ports on a network. If the ports for a specific IP address are

t open then you could not gain access to that IP address or what it is

no addressing.

Please Note: The term port also refers to several other aspects of network

technology. A port can refer to a physical connection point for peripheral

devices such as serial, parallel, and USB ports. The term port also refers to

certain Ethernet connection points, such as those on a hub, switch, or

router.

Pre-Installation

Before we begin with the installation we must ask ourselves a few

questions in order to figure out where to begin with networking our

DVR’s.

Do you have Hi-speed Internet? ______________

There are many types of high speed Internet available. Three commonly

used ones are T1, Cable, and DSL (in order of speed).

 Please Note: Everfocus suggests having a minimum upload speed

of 256KBps. This can be addressed by the Internet Service

er. Provid

Who is your Internet provider? ______________

 Please confirm that your internet service provider that our upload

speed is at least 256KBps.

What type of modem/router do you have? Modem/router model name/ #

The modem/router was either installed by your Internet service provider

or purchased by you to establish a co

nnection to the Internet. A router is installed to allow multiple computers to access the Internet through the same external IP address. It in turn assigns different internal IP addresses to local computers for this specific purpose.

Do you have a static IP address?

A Static IP address means you use the same IP address every time you log on to the Internet. With a static IP address, other Internet users always know the identity of your computer and can easily connect with it. That way, you can host a website, email server, or other type of server connection.

Everfocus suggest using a static IP address. If your Internet

provider does not offer a static IP address you have the option to use a dynamic IP address. This will be explained in more detail later on in the chapter.

Do you have a dynamic IP address? ______________

A Dynamic IP address means your IP address changes each time you make a connection to the Internet. We recommend asking your Internet service provider for a Static IP address. If this is not a possibility, you may

______________

Page 64

EVERFOCUS ELECTRONICS CORPORATION

purchase a router ( DDNS. DDNS is provides a central (public) database where DNS information can be stored and retrieved. It allows those using a dynamic IP address to be regist centrally so users can connect to it by name.

What type of DVR are you installing? ______________

Everfocus EDR series: EDR 400, 1600 or 1680 Everfocus EDSR series: EDSR 110, 400H, 400M, 400, 900, or 1600
