STEP 1: Determining Network Information

A

B

C,D

A. Press the Windows key and the R key at the same time on your

computer’s

keyboard. The Run window appears. Type cmd and press Enter.

B. In the command prompt window, type ipconfig and press Enter. Find the section

called “Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection” or “Wireless LAN Adapter
Wireless Network Connection.

C. Find the IPv4 Address (may be named IP Address in some versions of Windows).

Write this number down on a piece of paper. Change the last set of digits to 150.

(

For example, say you wrote down the IP Address 192.168.0.104. When the last

digits are changed, the IP address will be 192.168.0.150.) You will need this new
number in a later step.

D. Find the Default Gateway. Write down the Default Gateway number.

A. Open a window in the Internet Explorer browser and enter the Default Gateway

number that you found in Step 1D. Press Enter.

B. Log in to your router/modem using your user name and password. (Contact your

Internet Service Provider if you are unsure about the login information)

C. Once you have logged in to your router/modem, go into the section indicated by

your ISP to open ports on your router/modem to receive information from
NightOwl over your network. (See the next step for information on port
forwarding.)

A. You will need to enter a separate port forwarding entry for each port that your

DVR uses

– Media Port (9000), Web Port (2049), and Server Port (2050). (Note:

You must enter these numbers for both TCP and UDP protocol.)

B.

When entering the port numbers and IP address into your router’s port
forwarding section, you will need to do away with the leading zeros (e.g., 09000
becomes 9000, 192.168.000.150 becomes 192.168.0.150, and so on).

B

A

A. Right-click the

DVR’s mouse or select the Menu button on the DVR’s remote, select the

Main Menu, and then

select the Advanced button, select Network from the list on the left

side of the screen, and select the LAN tab

.

B.

Select “Use the following IP address.”

C. Change the IP Address to the number you wrote down in step 1C. (That should be your

IPv4 Address with the last set of digits changed to 150.) If any of the numbers in your IP
address are less than three digits, add enough zeros to the front of each number to
make them each three digits. (For example, you would change 192.168.0.150 to
192.168.000.150.)

D. Change the Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.000.

E. Change the Default Gateway to Default Gateway number that you wrote down in the

previous section. Select Apply, and then OK when notified that your changes are saved.

Advanced button, select Network from the list on the left side of the screen, and

select the Port tab.
