Network configuration

Correct network settings are essential in the following

cases:

When using remote control of the device and surveil-

lance over your server

Terms and definitions

An overview of relevant terms when using the device in a

network can be found below.

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.

Parameter

Setting

IP address

An IP address is the unique address of a

network device within a network.

This address may only appear once with-

in 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 dur-

ing routing.

255.255.255.0 is the standard subnet

mask in home networks.

Gateway

A gateway is a network device which al-

lows 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 ad-

dress 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 cor-

responding IP address of the server and

forwards the query on.

The IP of the provider’s DNS can be en-

tered 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.

Configuration

85

Port

A port is an interface used for communi-

cation by different programs. Certain

ports are fixed (23: Telnet, 21: FTP),

whilst others can be freely selected.

Ports are important for different applica-

tions (e.g. external access to the device

over a browser).

MAC

address

The MAC address (Media Access Con-

trol or Ethernet ID) is the specific hard-

ware 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 62).

Several switches, routers and access points can be con-

nected to each other. Firewalls and other security soft-

ware can affect the network.

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 Sys-

tem 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 specif-

ic address in the event of an alarm.

Note

Do not move the device during operation.

Moisture inside the device can condense and lead to HDD malfunctions.

When the device is turned on, never remove the mains plug from the socket or interrupt the power supply us-

ing the safety switch.

Do not move the device immediately after switching it off. To move the device, carry out the following steps:

1. Wait until OFF has been shown on the display for at least two minutes.

2. Remove the mains plug from the socket.

3. 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.
