Network status
You can easily check network traffic in order to obtain information about the recorder
such as its linking status, MAC address, MTU, sending/receiving rate, and NIC type.
The Network Detection window shows the network traffic between the recorder and
your local network. However, the traffic between the plug and play cameras and the
recorder is not shown.
You can also check the network connection status by testing its delay and packet loss.
To check network traffic:
1. From the menu toolbar, click Network Settings > Net Detect. The Traffic window
appears. The information displayed is refreshed once a second.
