6. NETWORK

The static service consists of an IP address which remains constant for the duration of the contract of the internet service. Whereas the dynamic service consists of an IP address that changes every time a new connection is made through the provided modem, or recurrently in a given period of time. Though most internet service providers offer both solutions, this manual will distinguish between the two solutions to configure the DVR for the networking purposes.

6.1. Ethernet

1. Static IP If Static IP is selected, the following settings are available:

1) IP Address: Enter the static IP address

2) Netmask: Enter the IP address of subnet mask.

3) Gateway: Enter the IP address for the internet gateway server.

4) PRI.DNS Server: Verify the name of the domain name system.

5) SEC.DNS Server: Enter the IP address of the backup domain name system (DNS) server that the DVR will use to convert names to IP addresses. This server is used if the primary DNS server fails. Note: if you do not set up DNS server correctly, you will have a problem with sending mail.

2. DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.

Is automatically set On from Local DHCP if there is alLocal DHCP server (i.e. The local Router). If DHCP is set to ON, the IP address, Gateway and subnet Mask will be assigned by DHCP server (i.e. the Local Area Network Router).

6.6 Router & Port Forwarding

The majority of networks will often consist of a single IP address which share internet access through a router. This IP addre ss will be an external (public) static IP address or a dynamic IP address issued by the Internet Service Provider.

The purpose of a router is to enable multiple personal computers, and any other devices that require internet connection, to access the internet simultaneously. Most routers b y default enable (open) common ports so that mainstream applications such as Hypertext Transfer Protocol (port 80), File Transfer Protocol (port 21), Telnet (port 23) and Post Office Protocol 3 (port

110) can be used.

To solve firewall problems and let visitors into the network, the user must instruct the router to allow traffic to pass through on a given port. This is known as Port Forwarding, as the router forwards (directs) all internet requests on a specific port to the local machine. With port forwarding, external visitors are able to connect to the DVR while other internal devices remain protected.
