If using an IP router (or NAT), port configuration and other network functions will depend on the usage method of the IP router (or NAT).

- FEN Name: After entering the DVR name you wish to register on the FEN server, check and register the entered name. This is a unique DVR name that will be registered on the FEN server.

- You will not be able to save FEN settings unless you click on the Check button next to the DVR Name field and check the entered name's availability.

- You will be prompted with an error message if you do not enter DVR name or enter a name already registered to the FEN Server.

- If the FEN name contains the #, \, and/or % symbol, it might not be able to connect to the DVR from the IDIS Web program.

- Status: Used to check the status of the device being registered to the FEN server.

Select Save after making changes to register the DVR's name to the FEN server.

If FEN has been configured correctly, the FEN server's help desk information will be displayed in the Help Desk field the next time you access the FEN Setup screen.

Do not disconnect the USB cable or power off the USB device while USB Clip Copy is in progress. Doing so can cause the DVR to malfunction or critically damage the external USB device's file system. You may be prompted with an error message when trying to back up on the device. If so, you will need to restart the DVR. If the USB hard disk's file system has been damaged, restarting the DVR will not solve the problem and the aforementioned error message will continue to be displayed each time you attempt a backup. If this is the case, you will need to format the HDD or use a recovery program to repair the damage to the drive's file system.

Overlapped Recording Search

If the system's clock is changed to a point in the past, overlapping recordings may be produced. Overlapped recordings have to be searched in segments.

For example, making a recording from 1 o'clock to 5 o'clock, changing the system's clock at 5 o'clock to 3 o'clock, and then continuing to record until 6 o'clock produces two recordings that overlap between 3 o'clock and 5 o'clock. This results in two segments for the period between 3 and 5.

When searching overlapped video recordings, you can choose a specific point in time or a time frame. If you use the Go to the Date/Time option and select a point within the overlapped time period (4 o'clock, for example), you must specify 4 o'clock in which of the two existing segments.

Select a Segment

1: Segment 20

2: Segment 21

If you use the Event Log Search or Motion Detection option and select a time frame within the overlapped time period (4 o'clock to 5 o'clock, for example), you must choose between the two redundant sets of From and To values. Selectable search ranges are as follows:

• 4 o'clock in segment 1 to 5 o'clock in segment 1
• 4 o'clock in segment 1 to 5 o'clock in segment 2
• 4 o'clock in segment 2 to 5 o'clock in segment 2

Select a Range

1: Scope 1 \~ 3
2: Scope 1 \~ 2
3: Scope 2 \~ 2

IDIS Web is a program that allows you to view and search video from remote locations over the Internet and can be accessed on a regular web browser such as Internet Explorer.

System requirements for running IDIS Web are as follows:

- http://fen.idisglobal.com/FEN Name (FEN Name: DVR name configured on the FEN server)
– http://web.idisglobal.com (will be prompted to enter DVR's IP address or FEN name registered to the FEN server upon login)

Contact your network administrator for the IP address of the DVR you wish to connect to and the IDIS Web port number.

2 When prompted with the IDIS Web login window, select LIVE-PORT or PLAY-PORT as the desired mode. Enter the ID and password and click LOGIN to sign in using the selected mode.

If connecting by entering http://web.idisglobal.com, enter the DVR's IP address in the Device Address field.
