the product is turned on for the first time, or the product fails to connect to the

HDD for other reasons. In these cases, the product is unable to connect to the

NAS HDD automatically even if the problem is resolved. To connect to the

NAS HDD, you must change settings to Disable, and then change back to

Enable.

 If a connected NAS HDD becomes disconnected from the product, its status in

the HDD list changes from "Connected" to "Not Connected." In this case, the

product automatically connects to the NAS HDD if the problem is resolved.

The status of the HDD then reverts to "Connected”.

 The NAS data-saving speed is slower than internal and external HDDs; this

may cause video files to be saved improperly.

New NAS settings are applied only if you click at the bottom of the

screen.

Note

Caution

HDDs MUST not be removed from the system while the system is in
operation. To remove HDDs safely, please refer to "5.4. Removing HDDs"

4.6.6. Network Setup

You can configure network settings on this screen.

You can use either PPPoE, Static IP, or DHCP as a connection method for the network ports

on the rear panel. If you are not sure which method to use, please ask your network

administrator for assistance.

If the product is connected to a PPPoE-type xDSL line, choose PPPoE as the connection

method, and enter the access ID and password. Choose the Static IP connection method if you

wish to use a static IP, and enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway to use. Choose

DHCP if a DHCP server is connected to the network you want to connect to; the DHCP server

will automatically assign an IP address for you.

 If you are using PPPoE or DHCP, you will find the IP address currently

assigned to your product in Assigned IP; you cannot set Assigned IP yourself.

Note

The 3 rear network ports (Refer to "2.2. Back Panel" and "3.1.2. Configuring the Network") are

 Changing the network connection method from PPPoE to DHCP or Static IP

automatically reboots the system.

the Monitor Ethernet Port, Source Ethernet Port, and Storage Ethernet Port. The Monitor

Ethernet Port connects the monitoring computer to the NVR via the web or the setup program.

59

The Source Ethernet Port connects to the cameras. The Storage Ethernet Port connects to

NAS devices.

In relation to Monitor Ethernet Port, you can set the connection port number and http port. The

http port is used to connect to the product via Web Viewer. If you changed the default value

(80) for HTTP Port, then you must append "(your port number)" to the product's address when

connecting to your product with Web Viewer. For example, if your IP address is 192.168.1.110

and HTTP Port is 8080 then http://192.168.1.110:8080 is the product access address for Web

Viewer. The connection port is used to connect your computer to the product after the http

connection is established.

You can activate or disable ATC in the ATC Mode menu. ATC automatically adjusts the video

quality depending on the network's connection status.

Monitor Ethernet Port supports DDNS. By registering your product with a DDNS server, you

can connect to the Monitor Ethernet Port from outside by using the DDNS server ID, instead of

the product's IP address. If you are using either PPPoE or DHCP to connect to the Monitor

Ethernet Port, you'll be assigned a n`ew IP address each time you connect the product to the

network. DDNS is especially useful in these circumstances.

Using DDNS

1. Register as a member on iPOLiS home page (www.samsungipolis.com).

Note

2. Log in, and register your NVR with the product registration menu in MY

IPOLIS. (Be sure to check for duplicate domains when you register your

domain.) You can check if your product has been registered normally on the

Product List.

3. Next set DDNS Use to "Enable,” enter "www.samsungipolis.com" in Server

Domain (without the quotation marks), and finally type in the ID and password

you registered with at the iPOLiS home page.

4. You can view the connection status for your registered product(s) on iPOLiS

Product List. ("ON" means that the product is connected to DDNS.)

5. Click Connect to Product on the Product List to connect to your product.

6. You also can enter http://www.samsungipolis.com/ID in your Internet

browser's address bar to connect to your product. ("ID" is the domain you

chose when you registered your product.)

60

Source Ethernet Port can act as a DHCP server to assign an IP address to a connected

camera. Enter two IP addresses—the first and last addresses of an IP range—to limit the

range of dynamic IPs. This DHCP Server option is especially useful when you want to open

only the NVR to an external network and keep the connected cameras within the internal

network.

To use the DHCP Server, the connection method for Source Ethernet Port must

Note

be set to Static IP.

 The front network port (Config Ethernet Port) is fixed as IP 192.168.1.100,

Note

HTTP Port 80, Connection Port 4000; you cannot change this setting.

 When connecting to the system via the Monitor Ethernet Port instead of the

Config Ethernet Port, changing the settings of the Monitor Ethernet Port may

terminate the connection. If this happens, you must use the new address to

connect to the product.

If you change the information of DHCP server, it may take a max of 5
minutes to apply the changes to the system.

Caution

All ports use the same DNS server; you can have up to two DNS servers. DNS1 is used as the

default, and DNS2 is used when DNS1 is unavailable.

Using RTP/RTSP lets you watch the video of the SRN-6450 in the monitoring system without

using Web Viewer. To use RTP/RTSP, select "Enable" in the Use RTSP menu, and then

change the RTSP and RTP port numbers in the Settings menu. (RTSP is used to control video,

and RTP is used to transfer video data.)

The Multicast option is useful when sending video to multiple users simultaneously without

consuming too much bandwidth. Multicast is available only within a local network that is

configured with a multicast-enabled router; it cannot be used via the Internet.

 The RTSP port number cannot be identical to the number of the connection

port for the Monitor Ethernet Port.

 Please be advised that you should not change the address unless you are

Note

familiar with the RTP multicast protocol. The default Multicast address is

224.0.1.1.

 RTSP monitoring is applied only to a MPEG-compliant camera. (H.264 and

JPEG-compliant cameras are not supported)

61

Note

To connect your computer to the product and watch video via RTP/RTSP, please

follow the instructions below. For a video player, we recommend using VLC

Media Player(Some players such as Quicktime may not function correctly, as

they do not support interlacing.) VLC Media Player's menu configuration may

vary depending on its version. (Version 0.9.8a or higher.)

1. In the Network Setup page, select "Enable" in the Use RTSP menu.

To use Multicast, select "Enable" in the Use Multicast menu.

2. Install and run VLC Media Player in your computer.Under the Media menu,

select Open Network or simply use the shortcut key (Ctrl+N) Select RTSP

under Protocol.

4. Depending on the type of a video, enter an address as from the examples in

Note

 RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) helps you keep data safe in

case the system HDD is damaged.

 Selecting RAID1 configures HDD1 and HDD2 as one array, and HDD3 and

HDD4 as the other array. RAID1 uses 2 physical HDDs as 1 functional HDD.
For instance, configuring HDD1 and HDD2—while each is equipped with a
500GB HDD—to RAID1 displays the system's functional HDD as one 500GB
RAID. In the RAID1 mode, no data is lost even if one of the two HDDs of a
RAID array is damaged.

89

Caution

 Selecting RAID5 configures 4 HDDs to 1 RAID array. RAID5 uses 4 physical

HDDs as 3 functional HDDs. For instance, configuring HDD1, 2, 3, and 4—

while each one of them is equipped with a 500GB HDD—to RAID5 displays

the system's functional HDD as one 1.5TB RAID. In RAID5 mode, no data is

lost even if one of the four HDDs is damaged.

 To configure a RAID mode, HDDs must be the same size. It is highly

recommended that you use the same brand and model HDDs to configure

RAID.

 RAID settings are available only for internal HDDs.

 Building a RAID mode using 4 x 500GB HDDs takes approximately 3 hours for

RAID1, and 4 hours for RAID5.

(It is recommended to use UPS while configuring RAID because reconfiguring

RAID due to a power failure during the first try may take a while.)

 Changing the RAID settings to a new mode automatically deletes all data

in the HDDs of the product, and new video files are not saved until the
new RAID mode is completely configured.

 When the product is abnormally turned off, i.e. by pulling the AC power

adapter out, and then turned on, the product may reconfigure its RAID
settings automatically to ensure the integrity of saved data. While a new
RAID mode is being configured, existing data is not lost, but new data
will not be saved either.

 If more than two RAID configured HDDs are broken or removed from the

product, the RAID configuration will malfunction, causing data loss.

 During use of the RAID, you should never perform “Remove HDD” from

the LCD menu whatsoever.

 If any one HDD of the pair fails during RAID operation, it is necessary to

replace the defective HDD as soon as possible in order to restore the
system stability.
