14.4.1 Configuring Network Type: DHCP & Static IP
The system has the ability to operate in DHCP mode and Static IP mode.
To configure DHCP and Static IP settings:
1. Select the Network tab.
2. Select DHCP or Static. If you select DHCP, the router automatically assigns an IP to
your DVR.
If you select Static, click the field beside IP Address, and enter in the IP address of your
choice.
• Enter your custom Subnet Mask, Gateway, DNS1 and DNS2 using the mouse.
• You must assign the IP in your router that you wish to make static. For example, if
you assign 192.168.2.89 as the static IP in the DVR, you must assign 192.168.2.89
in your router as a static IP as well. Consult your router’s user’s manual for details.
3. Click Apply to save your settings.
4. Right-click until you exit all menus. You will be prompted to restart.

mote connectivity, see 15 Connecting to Your DVR Over the Internet on PC or Mac, page 63.
