DSL Network Connection
It is becoming increasingly popular to use DSL to connect the DVR to the internet
or a Virtual Private Network (VPN). The following procedure assumes the DSL
cable modem connects a LAN to the internet through a router. Use this proce-
dure even if Image Vault is the only network device used on the “inside” side of
the router.
1. Obtain the following information from your Internet Service Provider
(ISP) before connecting Image Vault to a DSL/Cable Modem:
a. Static IP Address
b. Subnet Mask
c. Gateway
d. DNS Settings
2. Obtain the following equipment:
a. Router
b. Ethernet patch cable
3. Log onto the router from a computer using instructions provided with
your router.
4. In the “WAN” section of the router software setup, input the informa-
tion from your ISP (Step 1).
5. In the “LAN” section of the router software setup, make note of the
router’s IP address and subnet mask. This is the IP address you will
use to make remote connections from your PC using PRO-Command
playback software.
6. Make note of the range of IP addresses from the router’s DHCP routing
table.
7. Select an IP address from the router’s DHCP routing table to use for
Image Vault. This address must not be used by any other networked
device.
8. Go to the “Port Forwarding” section of the router software setup and
forward port “32001” to the IP address chosen for Image Vault.

7. Enter the Gateway and Subnet used to connect to the router. Save
your settings.
