- DHCP
This item allows users to obtain a dynamic IP address from DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server when the unit boots up.
When using DHCP, the settings are dynamic and will change every time
the unit power on or off, depending on the network's setup.
If the item is enabled (ON), a dynamic IP will be assigned to ERIS 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. The default setting is <ON>.
If the unit 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
unit. The IP address is the identifier for the unit 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 unit.
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 unit. To configure this item, DHCP must be set
to <OFF>.

OSD Setup Manual
www.ernitec.com
19
- 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 unit. To configure this item, DHCP must be
set to <OFF>.
If the server is unavailable when using DHCP, the unit 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.
To setup the login username, follow the steps:
•Select <PPPoE Account> from LAN Setup menu and press ENTER.
A virtual keyboard displays.
