- DHCP
This item allows users to obtain a dynamic IP address from DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server when the DVR boots up.
When using DHCP, the settings are dynamic and will change every time
the DVR power on or off, depending on the network's setup.
If the item is enabled (On), a dynamic IP will be assigned to
Versatile/Lite H.264 DVR. In this case, users do not need to set a static
IP and the Ethernet settings, including IP address, Netmask, Gateway,
and DNS settings will be read-only.
If the DVR is using a permanent address, disable DHCP (Off) to manually
set IP Address, Netmask, Gateway, and DNS. See the network system
administrators or IT personnel for appropriate values.
- IP
This item is used to configure the IP (Internet Protocol) address of the
DVR. The IP address is the identifier for the DVR on a TCP/IP LAN.
Please note that to set a static IP address, DHCP must be set to <Off>.

- Netmask
A netmask is a 32-bit mask used to divide an IP address into subnets and
specify the networks available hosts. Its value is defined by the network
administrator. It takes the form as ***.***.***.***, for example,
255.255.255.255.
This item allows users to enter the value of the Netmask for the DVR.
Please note that to configure this item, DHCP must be set to <Off>.
- Gateway
Gateway is a node on a network that serves as an entrance to another
network. Users are allowed to specify the IP address of the gateway or
router associated with this DVR. To configure this item, DHCP must be
set to <Off>.
- DNS
DNS is the abbreviation for “Domain Name Server”, which is an Internet
service that translates domain names into IP addresses. The advantage
of using DNS is that domain names are easier to remember.
This item allows users to specify the IP address of the Domain Name
System associated with the DVR. To configure this item, DHCP must be
set to <Off>.
If the server is unavailable when using DHCP, the DVR will search for the
network server and boots up more slowly. This network search continues
until it times out.
- PPPoE Account
The item allows users to setup the PPPoE login username.
NOTE: For accessing the PPPoE settings, select <PPPoE> as the
Network Type in Network Setup menu.
