DVR-460 User Guide

Note:

PPPOE and DHCP network connection types are required to apply the DDNS service to get a

“Hostname” to correspond to a dynamic IP address. Please refer to “DDNS” for details.

Function Description

Web Port Typically, the default TCP port used by HTTP is 80. However, in some cases, it is better

to change this port number for added flexibility or security. The valid web port number ranges from 1 to 9999.

Static IP Computers are communicated and recognized by their own unique IP addresses over

the Internet. “Static IP” provided by your ISP (Internet Service Provider) means the IP address of the computer is fixed.

Key in the server IP address, gateway and network information provided by your ISP provider to configure a static IP network connection.

PPPOE PPPOE stands for Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. Users can easily have the

Internet service as long as they’re ready for the following things: 1) Insert an Ethernet card into the PC. 2) Obtain the ADSL service via any ISP. 3) Obtain and install the PPPOE software CD.

When everything is ready, choose the “PPPOE” IP type, and key in the user name and password provided by your ISP. Then, select “Network” → “DDNS” to set DDNS settings.

For detailed DDNS settings, please refer to “DDNS”.

DHCP This DHCP function needs to be supported by a router or cable modem network with the

DHCP service. Choose the “DHCP” IP type, and select “Network” → “DDNS” to set DDNS settings.

For detailed DDNS settings, please refer to “DDNS”.

DDNS

You need to apply a DDNS account before setting PPPOE or DHCP connection. DDNS is a

service for transforming the dynamic IP corresponding to a specific “host name”. Go to a

website which provide free DDNS services and apply a host name.
