3.5.1 Ports
For remote access (from outside the LAN or the Internet) to one or more DVRs connected to the same IP sharing device (LAN), each
DVR must be assigned a unique WEB PORT number. The WEB PORT number in the NETWORK setup screen is the port assigned to
the DVR in the IP sharing device (router).
Additionally the DVR requires two additional ports on the IP sharing device: one to transmit video and the other to transmit
BACKUP les. The video port number is dened in the PORT entry, and the BACKUP port number is always the PORT number +1. For
instance, in the NETWORK screen shown above, the PORT number is 5445, so the DVR will use port 5446 for BACKUP.
The ports dened for a DVR, including the PORT, WEB PORT, and BACKUP (WEB PORT +1) must not be used by other device on the
local network. To access the DVR from outside the local network, the network router the must be setup to “port forward” (associate)
these three ports to the IP address of the DVR. For more information on port forwarding, see http://portforward.com/.
3.5.2 Network types
The DVR supports three types of networks: LAN, DHCP, and ADSL.
LAN
In a LAN conguration the IP address of the DVR is static (xed). If your LAN is maintained by a network administrator, obtain the
static IP address from the administrator.
DHCP
Select DHCP when the IP address is automatically assigned by the DHCP server. The DHCP server assigns the IP address and other
parameters automatically to devices on the LAN not congured with static (unchanging) IP addresses.
