Getting the DVR on a Network
Every Elite Technology PC based DVR is capable of remote viewing,
remote backup, and remote monitoring. To achieve this you must be able
to install the DVR on a network. (A network is, literally, two or more
computers connected together by LAN, Internet, or modem.)
Elite Technology DVRs use Microsoft Windows 2000 networking to achieve
this connection.
To access Windows networking components, the first step is to make the
physical connections. Unless you are using a modem, this is done by
connecting a network cable from the DVR to a router or server. Elite
Technology DVRs use a standard CAT-5 cable. (category 5 twisted pair
cable with RJ-45 connectors.)
When the cable is properly connected you should see “Connection
Indicator’ lights on the router and on the back of the DVR.
The indicator lights on the back of the DVR are on the top corners of the
RJ-45 input jack. You should see a green indicator in one corner and a
yellow indicator in the other corner when the cable is plugged in.
(On Gigabit connectors, both indicators are orange.)
Rear Panel of the DVR
Once you have ensured a good connection has been made, you can move
on to the software part of the installation.
If you do not see these connection indicators, check the cable to make sure
it is good. If the indicators do not light, you have not established a
connection.

16
Getting the DVR on a Network
The next step is to exit the DVR software and gain access to the Windows
Desktop.
Make sure the DVR is NOT in ‘Kiosk’ mode.
If the DVR is in Kiosk Mode:
You must be logged in as administrator to gain access to settings.
In the DVR software, go to Settings - DVR Settings - Startup
On the left column, uncheck ‘Restart in Kiosk Mode’.
The DVR will reboot when you click ‘Apply’ to save the settings and restart
in normal mode.
If the DVR is not in Kiosk Mode:
You must be logged in as administrator to exit the software.
Exit the software by clicking on the ‘Exit’ button on the top left of the
screen.
(Your Windows Desktop may appear differently depending on the model of
DVR you have.)
The next step is to determine the existing network configuration.
This is typically done with the help of the DOS command prompt.
IMPORTANT! (This example refers to connecting a router or combination
modem/router to the DVR. If you are connecting to an existing network
server, consult with your network administrator before proceeding.
Connecting directly to a Cable or DSL modem without a firewall can void
your warranty)

Getting the DVR on a Network
Move your mouse cursor to the bottom left of the screen to access the
Windows start menu.
When the Windows Start bar appears, click on the ‘Start’
button and then click on ‘Run’ to open the run dialogue.
Type cmd (or command) in the run
dialogue and click on ‘OK’.
This will start the DOS command prompt on your screen.
(Your command prompt may have different drive letter and directories
showing, usually C:\documents and settings\dvr\>_ or similar.)
At the command prompt type:
Ipconfig /all (leave a space between ipconfig and the / )
Press ‘Enter’ on your keyboard.
www.TURNSTILES.us * 8641 South Warhawk Road * Conifer, CO 80433

18
Getting the DVR on a Network
The ‘ipconfig /all’ command will produce the screen above.
Look under the ‘Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection’ section for the
information pertaining to our connection.
The ‘IP Address’ is the internal address of the DVR.
The ‘Default Gateway’ is the internal address of the Router.
Make a note of those two addresses. (You’ll need them later.)
Important!
If the ‘IP Address’ line reads ‘Autoconfiguration IP Address’ the DVR is not
‘seeing’ the router. Check your cables and check the network adapter
status to ensure it is ‘Enabled’. If connections are good and adapter is
enabled Type:
ipconfig /release and press ‘Enter’
Type:
Ipconfig /renew and press ‘Enter’
If the ‘IP Address’ line still reads ‘Autoconfiguration IP Address’ try
rebooting the router first and then the DVR.
Repeat the ipconfig /all command until you can determine an IP Address
and a Default Gateway.
Once you have noted the Gateway and IP Address, close the DOS prompt
by clicking the [X] on the top right corner.
(For instructions on how to check the network adapter status, see the
‘Troubleshooting’ section.)
