Network configuration
Correct network settings are essential in the following
cases:
When using remote control of the device and surveil-
lance over your server
Note
Please read the following basic instructions before
setting up the device.
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
within a network. Certain IP address
ranges are reserved for public networks
(e.g. the Internet).
Private ad-
dress 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.
Settings - Configuration
124
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 ad-
dress
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 84).
Note
Pay attention to the specific information and in-
structions on the network devices.
Several switches, routers and access points can be con-
nected to each other. Firewalls and other security soft-
ware 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, chang-
ing passwords, changing ports)!

tem management. Used for updating
host names or DNS entries

1. 11:00 AM - 24:00PM
2. 00:00 AM - 7:00 AM

Note
The device manages up to eight 3.5" SATA hard
disk drives (only TVVR45030).
For additional data security, an e-SATA hard disc
can be optionally connected.
Each of the installed HDDs must be initialised be-
fore the device can be used for recording. The de-
vice only detects the HDD and its assignment af-
ter initialisation has been made.
Warning
All data is deleted from the HDD during initialisa-
tion.
Ensure a data backup has been made in good
time beforehand.
Installing the HDD
1. Disconnect the device from the mains power and
open the cover.
2. Observe the applicable ESD guidelines when han-
dling electronic devices and ensure they are earthed.
3. Do not open the device in rooms with carpets or
other surfaces that can become electro statically
charged.
4. Avoid bodily contact with all components on the
PCB.
Warning
If you have questions regarding the information or
cannot find the information you need, please con-
tact your maintenance specialist.

At least one HDD must have the R/W status

Checking the HDD status
The status of each HDD can be checked in the “Mainte-
nance” menu. S.M.A.R.T. information (Self-Monitoring,
Analysis and Reporting Technology) is stored in the log
data.
Call up the log file and search according to the infor-
mation/S.M.A.R.T. HDD (see page 140).
Setting up the HDD alarm
You can specify alarms to inform you of HDD errors.
To do this, call up Warning in the “System Settings”
menu (see page 130).
S.M.A.R.T.
S.M.A.R.T. means Self-Monitoring Analysis and Report-
ing Technology.
Information on the hard disc status is displayed in this
sub-menu.
This information helps to recognize hard disc errors. For
this reason, do not deactivate this feature if possible.
Note
The log files saved for S.M.A.R.T. can be found in
the menu Maintenance at “Log search” (see page
143).
