Network configuration

Correct network settings are essential in the following cases:

• When using remote control of the device and surveillance over your server

Note

Please read the following basic instructions before setting up the device.

A network is a connection of at least two network-capable devices.

Transmission types:

• Wired networks (e.g. CAT5 cable)
• Wireless networks (WLAN)
• Other transmission types (Powerline)

All systems have certain similarities, but can also differ in many ways.

Terms and definitions

An overview of relevant terms when using the device in a network can be found below.

Parameter	Setting
IP address	An IP address is the unique address of a network device within a network. This address may only appear once within a network. Certain IP address ranges are reserved for public networks (e.g. the Internet).
Private address range	e.g. 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 Subnet mask: 255.0.0.0 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Subnet mask	A subnet mask is a bit mask used for making decisions and assignments during routing. 255.255.255.0 is the standard subnet mask in home networks.
Gateway	A gateway is a network device which allows all other network devices to access the Internet. This can be the computer connected to the DSL modem or – usually – the router or access point within the network.

Parameter	Setting
Name server	The name server is responsible for as-signing a unique IP address to a web address or URL (e.g. www.google.de). Also known as DNS (Domain Name Server).When a domain name is entered into a browser, the DNS searches for the corresponding IP address of the server and forwards the query on.The IP of the provider's DNS can be entered here. However, it is often sufficient to select the IP of the gateway. This then forwards the queries independently to the provider DNS.
DHCP	The DHCP server automatically assigns the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and name server to a network device.DHCPs are available in current routers.The DHCP service must be specially set and activated (see the corresponding manual for more information).Note:When using fixed IP addresses and a DHCP server, make sure that the fixed IP addresses are outside the address range assigned by DHCP. Otherwise, problems could occur.
Port	A port is an interface used for communication by different programs. Certain ports are fixed (23: Telnet, 21: FTP), whilst others can be freely selected. Ports are important for different applications (e.g. external access to the device over a browser).
MAC address	The MAC address (Media Access Control or Ethernet ID) is the specific hardware address of the network adapter. This is used for the unique identification of the device in a computer network.

Network layout

The device must be physically connected to the network over a CAT5 cable (see the connections on page 81).

Note

Pay attention to the specific information and instructions on the network devices.

Several switches, routers and access points can be connected to each other. Firewalls and other security software can affect the network.

Warning

When using a router, the network clients (e.g. the recorder) can be connected to the Internet and vice versa.

Make sure to use protective measures to prevent unauthorised external access (e.g. firewall, changing passwords, changing ports)!

Network-configuration

TAB	Settings
General	Settings for the local net and selecting the network mode.
PPPOE	PPPOE is used on ADSL connections and when using modems in Germany. Click on “Set” to enter the access data (ID and password) for your provider.
DDNS	Server for Dynamic Domain Name System management. Used for updating host names or DNS entries
NTP	Network Time Protocol Server for time synchronisation
Email	Used to specify the e-mail settings which are sent as an e-mail to a specific address in the event of an alarm.
FTP	Configure the address of an FTP server and the path for saving the files.
SNMP	Configure the parameters to receive information about the device status.
More Settings	Communication and HTTP port.

IPv4 Adress	Address of the network device in the network (manual assignment)
IPv4 Subnet Mask	Usually 255.255.255.0
IPv4 Default Gateway	Address of the gateway for Internet access
IPv6 Adress 1	Currently no functioning
IPv6 Adress 2	Currently no functioning

• Move the device.

• Data on the HDD can be lost in the event of a power failure during operation. Use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS)!

• The HDD is very sensitive. Improper use or unsuitable surroundings can damage the HDD after some years of use. This may be indicated by the playback stopping unexpectedly or visible "mosaic" effects in the image. In some circumstances, there are no prior signs of a HDD malfunction.

• In the event of a malfunction, no recordings can be played. The HDD must be replaced in this case.
