CONFIGURATION | NET
Click the buttonCONFIGURATION then NETWORKto open the network port settings
NETWORK | CONFIGURATION | TCP/IP
In this section you can enter the NVR network data.
NETWORK ADDRESSES – IP address, Subnet mask, Gateway and primary and secondary DNS are the
addresses that allow your DVR/NVR to communicate with the network. The easiest thing is to maintain
the factory setting with DHCP enabled so that the device configures itself
automatically on the network. To use this function, the DVR/NVR must be
connected to a network with a router or other equipment that acts as a DHCP server.
If for some reason you have to enter the parameters manually, read up carefully before doing so
because inserting incorrect parameters can make the system unreachable from the outside.
Remember that all devices on your network must have IP addresses with the first 3 numbers the same e
the same subnet mask (usually 255.255.255.0). The gateway is usually the address of the router, the
network number 1 (for example 192.168.1.1). DNS is important for the DVR/NVR to work
browse the Internet and connect to external hosts, such as our P2P server or your SMTP provider
to send emails. If you don't know your provider's DNS, use Google's 8.8.8.8.
Below is the other data in this window

IP INTERNAL NETWORK CARD – If you have purchased an NVR with built-in POE ports you can find it here
the starting address that will be assigned to the cameras connected to the NVR ports. From
Our POE NVRs use the class 192.168.11... for the internal network and it is advisable not to
modify it.
In this window there are also the communication ports used by the camera which are not
you should never change unless a specific need actually requires it.
PORTS – The ports used by the NVR/DVR for network communication are indicated here
in the use of TCP, HTTP (ONVIF), RTSP protocols. Our private protocol, used by the app
and from the IoVedo.RK software, it uses port 6000 by default. It is advisable never to modify
these communication ports.
DEVICE MAC – Unique device identifier
NETWORK | CONFIGURATION | DDNS
In this section you can enter the connection data to a DDNS server.
DDNS servers are services offered via the Internet that allow you to reach a variable IP
as if it were static.
With our DVR/NVR you don't need these services because the P2P cloud server we offer
free of charge performs this function very well. However VCRs support it
different DDNS services and you can set the connection data in this folder if you intend to use them.
DSE SRL – ITALY – WWW.DSE.EU
CONFIGURATION MANUAL
RK SERIES – NVR and DVR GUI 6.0
Page:14
Remember that if you use a DDNS service, instead of our P2P cloud you will need to map
appropriately the ports in the router to be able to communicate with the DVR/NVR.
Typically, the data required to connect to a DDNS server is the domain name and
credentials and are assigned by the DDNS provider when subscribing to the service.
You can also set a refresh interval that indicates how often the DVR/NVR should perform
will communicate its connection data to the server.
NETWORK | CONFIGURATION | PPPOE
NVR/DVR can be connected directly to an ADSL modem to connect to the Internet
by making a call (dial-up) and entering your credentials.

Normally you will not need this page because today it is preferred to use routers for
Internet access and this protocol is not necessary
NETWORK | CONFIGURATION | NTP
The NTP protocol is used to automatically synchronize the time of the NVR via the Internet
DSE SRL – ITALY – WWW.DSE.EU
CONFIGURATION MANUAL
RK SERIES – NVR and DVR GUI 6.0
Page:16
If you enable NTP protocol management, the NVR will synchronize the time via the Internet with an NTP server.
SERVER - You will find the most popular free servers for time synchronization listed. You can too
insert a custom one.
CADENCE – Set the frequency of synchronization with the server in minutes.
NTP PORT – NTP servers normally use port 123
NETWORK | CONFIGURATION | FTP
The DVR/NVR can send photos in case of intrusion or alarm to a network FTP server. It's a
useful function if you have a web space where you can secure salient images.
FTP SERVER/PORT – These are the main data of your FTP space
USERNAME/PASSWORD – Access credentials to your FTP space
UPLOAD FOLDER – Write the name of the folder where the files are stored on the FTP server
CHANNELS/DAY/PERIOD 1-2 – You can enable sending files only in certain time slots depending on
of the day of the week. You can set different rules for each channel.
TEST – Before saving, press this button to verify that the FTP server is reachable
with the parameters you entered.
NETWORK | CONFIGURATION | UPNP
If you have a static IP address on the Internet, you can also decide not to use our server
cloud to connect via the web and connect directly via the Internet to the IP address of your router.
In this case you must map the router ports so that the ports used by the
DSE SRL – ITALY – WWW.DSE.EU
CONFIGURATION MANUAL
RK SERIES – NVR and DVR GUI 6.0
Page:17
DVR/NVR (factory 80,5000,554,6000) are transferred from the Internet side to your
DVR/NVR on the internal network.
It would be a good idea to do the mapping manually in the router configuration. However if
your router accepts upnp mapping you can also enable it in the NVR so it runs
automatically.
NETWORK | CONFIGURATION | BLACK/WHITELIST
On this page you can allow or prevent remote connection to your DVR/NVR based on
to the IP address or Mac Address of the client making the connection. It is useful for narrowing down the
possibility of remote access to authorized IPs only.

If you use the BLACKLIST mode you can then add all the IP addresses or MAC addresses to which you do not
you want to grant access to the system. If you use the WHITELIST mode you can insert the
IP addresses or MAC addresses to which access is allowed, while all others will be excluded.

to avoid frequencies disturbed by the presence of other devices. If you are having problems with
occasional disconnection of WiFi cameras, you can try setting different channels in
this box.
AREA – Defines the WiFi standard to use. If you want the NVR's wifi network to be visible and
usable by other European devices you must set EU.
