Network Settings (NETWORK

Network Tab)

 Type: Select the type of network configuration from:

Manual, DHCP and ADSL (with PPPoE).

Manual – You can select Manual when using a static IP address

for network connection. Set up LAN parameters manually.
Set the numbers of the IP Address, Gateway and Subnet Mask.

DHCP – You can select DHCP when the DVR is networked

through DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). The
DVR reads the IP address from DHCP network when selecting
the Save button.

ADSL – You can select ADSL (with PPPoE) when the DVR

is networked through ADSL. Enter the ID and password for
ADSL connection, and the DVR receives the IP address when
selecting the Save button.

NOTE: Ask your network provider for your network connection type and connection information.

NOTE: If the DVR is configured for DHCP or ADSL, the IP address of the DVR might change whenever the unit
is turned on. If you want to use the DVRNS function, you will need to get the IP Address of the DNS Server from
the Internet service provider.

 DNS Server: Set the DNS server IP address obtained from your network administrator. If you set up the DNS Server,

the domain name of the DVRNS server or SMTP server instead of the IP address can be used during DVRNS Server
or Mail setup. Checking the Auto (Default) box allows the DVR to obtain the IP address of the DNS server automatically
(16-ch model only).

NOTE: Selecting Auto will only be enabled when the DVR is configured for DHCP or an ADSL network.

 Port Number Setup…: Set the port number of each remote software related

program.

NOTE: You will need to get the appropriate Port Numbers for each remote
software related program from your network administrator. Do NOT use the
same port number for two different programs, otherwise, the DVR cannot be
connected with the PC running REVO Remote Pro or REVO Remote.

CAUTION: When changing the port settings, you must change the port settings on the PC
running REVO Remote Pro.


 Use UPnP: Check the box when using the UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) service. When using the UPnP service,

port forwarding from the NAT (Network Address Translation) device to the DVR will be enabled automatically via
UPnP service. This function will be especially useful when accessing a port on a private IP address. Checking the
Status

box displays the port numbers forwarded from the NAT device via UPnP service.

NOTE: For the UPnP service to work, the NAT device should support the UPnP Port Forwarding function and
the function should be set to enabled.

NOTE: You cannot change the port settings when Use UPnP is On.
