static IP and the Ethernet settings, including IP address, Netmask,
Gateway and DNS settings, will be read only.
If you are using permanent addressing, set DHCP to <OFF> for
setting the IP Address, Netmask, Gateway, and DNS. Check with
your network system administrators or IT personnel for appropriate
values for these settings.
- IP
The item is used to configure the IP (Internet Protocol) address of the
unit. The IP address is the identifier for your computer or device on a
TCP/IP LAN or WAN. Please note that to set a static IP address,
DHCP must be set to <OFF>.
- Netmask
A netmask is a 32-bit mask used to divide an IP address into subnets
and specify the networks available hosts. Its value is defined by your
network administrator. It takes the form as ***.***.***.***, for example,
255.255.255.255.
This item allows users to enter the value of the Netmask for the unit.
Please note that to configure the item, DHCP must be set to <OFF>.
- Gateway
Gateway is a node on a network that serves as an entrance to
another network.
Users are allowed to specify the IP address of the gateway or router
associated with this unit. To configure this item, DHCP must be set to
<OFF>.

- DNS
DNS is the abbreviation for “Domain Name System”, which is an
Internet service that translates domain names (eg: www.DNS.com)
into IP addresses. It helps to make our life easier because we do net
have to memorize IP address but just the domain names, which are
easier to be memorized.
The item allows users to specify the IP address of the Domain Name
System associated with the unit. To configure this item, DHCP must
be set to <OFF>.
If the network server is unavailable when using DHCP, the unit
searches for the network server and boots up slower than as usual.
The search of network continues until it times out.

- Operating Mode
Devices in a wireless network are set up to either communicate
indirectly through a central place -- an Access Point (AP); or directly,
one to the other. The prior one is called "Infrastructure Mode" and the
other one is called "Ad Hoc Mode” (also referred as peer-to-peer).
Ad Hoc Mode does not require an Access Point. It is easier to set
up, especially in a small or temporary network.
NOTE: You may select either mode for your wireless network;
however, all devices communicating directly with each other
must operate in the same mode.
- Choose A Wireless Network
This function enables the unit to scan for available wireless network
connections in the surrounding area and list them on the table,
shown as below figure:

The list shows operating mode, network name (ESSID) and the
encrypt status of each wireless network. “Mode” indicates the
operating mode; “ESSID” indicates the name of the wireless network
found; and “Encrypt” indicates whether the transferring data has
been encrypted.
Move the cursor to the desired wireless network and press ENTER to
select it. Once you select a wireless network, some related items,
such as <Operating Mode>, <Network Name> and <Data
Encryption>, are already set for you.
NOTE: A Wireless USB Adapter must be connected to the
DVR before choosing a wireless network under this submenu.
- Network Name (ESSID)
This item is used for setting the name of a wireless network. The set
name will be shared by every member of the wireless network. Note
that the Network Name should be one word without space.
Follow these steps to set the name of a wireless network.
In the <Wireless Network Setup> Menu, move the cursor to
<Network Name (ESSID)> and press ENTER. A virtual keyboard
with alphanumeric characters is displayed.

- Network Authentication
For additional security on the wireless network, the Authentication
type can also be set when Encryption is enabled.
If <Shared> is chosen, your Access Point will not be available on the
wireless network except to those wireless clients that share the same
WEP (short for Wired Equivalent Privacy) key.
If <Open> System is chosen, only those wireless clients with the
same WEP key will be able to communicate on the wireless network,
but the Access Point will be visible to all devices on the network.
NOTE: Wired Equivalent Privacy is a security protocol for
WLANs defined in the 802.11b standard. WEP aims to
provide security by encrypting data over radio waves so that it
is protected when the data is transmitting from one end point
to another.
- Data Encryption
This function is used to translate the data into a secret code. Data
encryption is the most efficient way to achieve data security. To read
an encrypted file, you must have access to a secret key or password
that enables you to decrypt it.
Once you enable this function, you have to specify the secret key
level (64 bits or 128 bits) and key index.
Page 27
User’s Manual

- Data Encryption Level
This item allows you to select the data privacy algorithm, including 64
or 128 bits WEP type. If you select 64 or 128 bits WEP type, a set of
WEP key will be generated. 128 bits WEP type provides higher
secure level than 64 bits WEP type.
If <64bits> is chosen, then 10 hexadecimal digits can be entered for
<Enter Network Key>; and 26 hexadecimal digits for <128bits>.
NOTE: A hexadecimal digit values in the range of 0~9, A~F
and a~f. e.g. abcde12345.
- Key Index
Key index refers to the location where the secret key is stored. You
can select from 1 to 4. The option you select here should be
corresponding to Wireless USB Adapter’s setting.

Normal PPS
Normal PPS (Picture per Second) is used to set the recording rate for normal
status. Please note that the normal PPS for all channels can be added up to
the maximum PPS for each Record mode. To increase one channel’s PPS,
you may have to reduce others’ first. Event PPS is not restricted to this rule,
since a smart event calculating program of the unit will handle the total PPS to
meet the maximum PPS with a correct weighting. For example, if channel 1
is set to event mode with 30PPS, the remaining 30 PPS will be equally
distributed to other 15 channels, which means each channel will be set to 2
PPS.
Normal Qlty
The item is used to set the picture size for normal status recording. The
available options are listed as follow: <Low>, <Fair>, <Mid>, <High> and
<Best>.
Event Max PPS
Event Max PPS is used to set the event recording rate for Event status.
Normally, the Event PPS is set to equal or greater than Normal PPS; the
setting is depending on your application. If the Event PPS is set to <0>, the
Premium H.264 DVR stops recording event video during alarms.

function.
NOTE: If you want to playback a video which is beyond the data lifetime, please
extend the duration till the recording data/time of the video is included.
< Pre-Alarm Recording >

normal record video; and the quality of the post-alarm video is the same as the quality
setting for event record video.
