“PLANET IP Wizard II” Utility.
The NVR is placed in a network without DHCP server
Access NVR with its default IP (192.168.0.20).
3.1 Use Device Search Utility
If the NVR is placed in a corporate network or a local area network where a DHCP server is
already presented, ple a s e install the “PLANET IP Wizard II” utility from the bu n d l e d CD disk.
To begin, launch the “PLANET IP Wizard II” utility from the CD and proceed with the
installation.
