Configuring UPnP
The DVR supports UPnP
TM
(Universal Plug and Play). This feature lets the DVR
automatically configure its own port forwarding, if this feature is also enabled in
the router.
You can select one of two methods to set up UPnP:
Automatic mapped type: The DVR automatically uses the free ports available
that were set up in the Network Settings menu.
Manual mapped type: You enter the particular external port settings and IP
addresses required to connect to the desired router (see Figure 8 below).
Figure 8: UPnP manual configuration screen
To enable UPnP:
1. Connect the DVR to the router.
Note: The router must support UPnP and this option must be enabled.
2. From the menu toolbar, click Network Settings > UPnP.
3. Enable the option.
4. From Mapped Type, select Auto or Manual.
If Manual is selected, enter the external ports and IP addresses required.
5. Click Apply.
Configuring SNMP
SNMP is a protocol for managing devices on networks. When you enable SNMP
in the menu, network management systems can retrieve DVR status information
from the DVR via SNMP.
When you set the trap address and trap port in the DVR menu to the network
management system’s IP address and port number, and set up the network
management system as trap receiver, trap notifications (such as startup) are sent
from the DVR to the network management system.
