IMPORTANT! As of this writing, 2Wire brand routers do not support Static
IP. Because of this, in the event that your router has to restart, you will need
to repeat the steps to obtain the new IP address. Connecting the router to an
uninterruptible power supply (UPS) can prevent this issue.
STEP 1. Open the Information menu
and select Network.
STEP 2. Write down the information for
IP Address (LAN), Subnet mask,
Default gateway and Preferred DNS
Server (you’ll only need the one, not
the Alternate).
STEP 3. Exit the Information menu and
return to the Advance menu and
select Network.
STEP 4. Click the radio button for Use
the following IP address.
STEP 5. Enter the information obtained
in Step 2 into the appropriate fields.
STEP 6. Click Apply to save your settings before exiting the window.
Proceed on to Section 1.5 Setting up Dynamic Domain Name Service to create a
custom web address that you can use instead of entering the IP address when monitoring
remotely.
1.3 STATIC INTERNAL IP (NETWORK) ADDRESS
Most routers assign connected devices a random IP address that is not currently in use by
another device on your internal network. When a router or networked device reboots due to a
power loss or other issue, the addresses will change and the port forwarding configuration will
no longer work. For that reason, we recommend changing your DVR’s network setting to a
xed, or “static” IP address which will not change.
1.4 CONNECTING VIA A MODEM (PPPOE)
If you are going to attach the DVR directly to a DSL or Cable modem instead of a router you
will want to select the PPPOE option in the NETWORK options. This method is instead of
UPnP or DMZ and only applies if you are not using a router.
Contact your ISP for the User Name and
Password needed for the Internet account.
Click on the PPOE tab and then select
Enable from pull-down menu. Enter the User
Name and Password into the appropriate
fields.
