IP assignment
1 Key Words for Network
LAN (Local Area Network) : Under the LAN network, any network device in the same
LAN network can be accessed by any other network device. But LAN network can not be
accessed from the Internet (WAN).
Most of case, LAN is built after Router which is connected to WAN network so that
Network device in the local area network can access to the Internet through Router. Most
of case, LAN networked device can not be accessed from the Internet (WAN), unless it is
not configured to be accessed from the Internet through NAT function of router.
WAN (Wide Area Network) : WAN enables all network device can be accessed by each
other over the Internet. It included Leased Line, Cable modem, xDSL, ISDN and
Telephone line etc.
IP address : IP address is abbreviation of Internet Protocol address which allows all
network devices can communicate other over the network using Internet protocol. Each
network device has its own unit IP address whether or not it is in the LAN or WAN
network. Therefore network devices can be accessed by other network device from either
LAN or WAN (Internet).
For example, www.yahoo.com is a web server which has its own IP address so that any
body can has access to Yahoo web site. Like most of public web site has its own IP
address. Although IP address can not be seen by the client, domain name
(www.yahoo.com) is automatically converted into IP address by DNS server.
Static IP address : A static IP address is an IP address permanently assigned to
computer or network devices in a TCP/IP network. Static IP address is usually assigned
to network devices which are consistently accessed by any users. For instances,
www.yahoo.com has global static IP address. Thus, any body can access to the site. If
you want to view live video stream from FlexWATCHTM server over the Internet, you need
to assign Global Static IP address.
Depending the network Public Static IP(WAN) or Private Static IP can be assigned to
network device.
Dynamic IP address : A dynamic IP address is an IP address that is automatically
Seyeon Tech Co., Ltd
15

Network Video Recorder User’s Manual
assigned to a client station (computer, network equipment, etc.) in a TCP/IP network.
Dynamic IP address is typically assigned by a DHCP server, which can be a computer on
the network or another piece of hardware, such as router. A dynamic IP address may
change every time your computer connects to the network
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) : DHCP is software that automatically
assigns IP addresses to client stations logging onto a TCP/IP network. DCHP eliminates
troublesome job to manually assign permanent IP addresses to every device on your
network. DHCP software typically runs in servers and is also found in network devices
such as routers. Most of Cable Modem for Internet access uses DHCP Public IP address
and Private IP address : Public IP address is an IP address which can be identified
uniquely in Internet world. All IP addresses excluding private IP addresses are public IP
addresses. Private IP addresses range from 10.0.0.0 until 10.255.255.255, and from
192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255. Generally speaking, private IP addresses are used in
local area network which are hidden from the Internet world. Also, when public IP
addresses not enough, private IP addresses are used while sharing global IP addresses
Router : Router is a network hardware which routes either Private or Public IP address
to Public network so that network device between private IP network and Public IP
network can communicate over the network. Router has NAT (Network Address
Translation) function and through this function Public IP address will be mapped into
private IP network so that Network device in the private IP address can be added from
Internet.
Hub : Hub is a hardware which relay transmission between Router and Network device.
There are two types of Hub. One is Dummy hub and the other one is Switching hub. Note
that Hub will be used in the local network only.
NAT (Network Address Translation) : Network Address Translation (NAT) translates
multiple IP addressed on the private LAN to one public address that is sent out to the
Internet. This adds a level of security since the address of a PC connected to the private
LAN is never transmitted on the Internet.

AOIP (Always On Internet Protocol) Server: AOIP™ server (Always On IP) is run by
Seyeon Technology or its business partner and is a gateway for remote users to access
FlexWATCH™ servers which is connected dynamic IP address over DSL,Cable modem and
PSTN network over the Internet. FlexWATCH™ Network Video Server and Camera Server
family is fully supported by AOIP server and any type of IP address(Global Dynamic IP or
Private IP) can be assigned to FlexWATCHTM server and user can access FlexWATCH™
system from the Internet at anytime and anywhere through AOIP server.
2 Check Points before IP assignment
Following are list of item to be checked before you start configuration of
FlexWATCHTM server.
2.1 IP address
You need to have Static IP address and other information such as Default Gateway and
Network Mask which are to be assigned to FlexWATCHTM server. Please consult with your
network administrator, if FlexWATCHTM server is to be installed in your corporate network,
or consult with ISP if you want to install it in your home or shop for which DSL or Cable
modem Internet service is available.
Following could be a simple way of finding IP address information of your PC and with
that information you can set up IP address to FlexWATCHTM server in the private IP
network without consulting to your ISP.
- Open DOS Command window as following procedure.
Program> Accessories > DOS Prompt
- Enter ‘ ipconfig’ command. Following information will come up
2.1.1 Static IP address enabled PC (DHCP Disabled PC)
You can easily check whether Static IP address is assigned to your PC. If you are in the
Static IP network, it is simpler to assign IP address to FlexWATCHTM server than DHCP
network.

With above info, you can get information about your network from your PC and see which
IP class of IP address should be assigned to FlexWATCHTM server.
Note that the same class, but different IP address appeared in your PC must be used for
FlexWATCHTM server to assign an IP address from your PC keeping Subnet mask & default
gateway as same that of your PC.
For example, 192.168.0.155 or other available IP address except 192.168.0.158 can be
assigned to FlexWATCHTM server, since it is the same class of your IP address and can be
communicated in your local network.
If you want to check out whether 192.168.0.155 is available. Please try ping command in
the DOS window. If there is any response, it means 192.168.0.155 is assigned to other
network device. Thus, you need to randomly select other IP address and try ping test or
consult with your network administrator
