Remote Control Protocol

A computer can be used to control the DVR by sending the packet as follows

=========================================================

485/232 Control Code Protocol ========================================================= 1-1. Sample control code packets

Example1: A packet that send "REC" key to DVR(ID=5)

0x85 (length) 0x00 (Receiver ID high byte) 0x05 (Receiver ID low byte) 0x4B (OPcode = key) 0x08 (DATA1 = "Rec" keycode) 0x5D (checksum)

Example2: A packet that send "PAUSE" key to DVR(ID=4999)

0x85 (length) 0x27 (Receiver ID high byte) 0x07 (Receiver ID low byte) 0x4B (OPcode = key ) 0x0C (DATA1 = "Pause" keycode ) 0x0A (checksum)

Example3: A packet that send "PLAY" key to all DVR(broadcast)

0x85 (length) 0x7f (Receiver ID high byte) 0x7f (Receiver ID low byte) 0x4B (OPcode = key ) 0x0B (DATA1 = "Play" keycode ) 0x59 (checksum)

2-1. The format of message packet is as follows:

Length Byte (Prefix: 0x86, 0x87, or 0x88 ..... )

Receiver ID high byte Receiver ID low byte Opcode Byte Data Byte1 Data Byte2 Data Byte3 . . Checksum Byte

APPENDIX E : DDNS

This chapter will cover a few simple configurations for setting up DDNS. Please understand we do not support this product and will not give tech support on it. If you need Technical support on DDNS you must call Linksys or D-Link. This Chapter is to offer some help to the installer and end user nothing more

Creating a DDNS Account

The first step is to open Internet Explorer and in the address bar type:

http://www.dyndns.org

The next step is to register with dyndns.org by clicking on sign up now.

link right next to Dynamic DNS

APPENDIX

The next step is to add a host name with an extension. Example: Company.homeip.net

The IP address should already be entered for you. All you have to do is click add host and you are done registering DDNS

You may refer to the previous two chapters to set up DDNS within your router.
