1. Rules
To allow remote ADSL access to the recorder, the modem router have to be set and the access way the recorder
defined. The port used by the recorder is the port nb. 80.
The modem router network address (IP address) can be either fixed (always the same) either dynamic (regularly
changed, DHCP mode).
“Internet Access Providers” (IAP) generally gives a dynamic IP for security raisons. Some of then can supplies on
demand a fixed address, often with payment.
When dynamic IP is used, DNS mode must be used.
Before settings, following information does have to be asked to the IAP:
- Fixed or dynamic IP.
- Locale modem router IP address.
- Fixed address modem router page.
- IAP DNS address.

(default setup, or the number previously chosen).
Redirect the “DVR” service to recorder Ip address port nb. 80, as a permanent way, for all external IP address.
3.2 Dynamic IP
Create a DNS account: a lot of site allows free DNS account:
http://www.dyndns.com or http://dyn.com http://www.dnsperfect.com
http://www.dnspark.com http://www.easydns.com
http://www.namecheap.com http://www.dnsq.org
http://www.dhs.org http://www.myip.us… etc.
Choose a significant name for the recorder (for example “Peter_home_dvr”), a password and the extension type:
(Example with www.dyndns.com site and dyndns.org extension: recorder name becomes “peter_home_dvr.dyndns.org”).
