Before running MyDVR for the rst time:
Ensure your DVR is connected to a network and (if accessing
via the Internet) you know the Public IP Address of the DVR
or the DDNS address (see “Network: Advanced: DDNS” on
“Network: Advanced: DDNS” on page 21 for more).
That your network is set to DHCP addressing or the DVR
has been congured to use STATIC addressing (see “Network:
General” on page 19).
That UPnP is enabled on your router (see your router’s
documentation to learn more).
If you’re accessing the DVR via a LAN (local network):
t Select LAN under the heading Network Type.
t Your DVR should automatically appear in the list of
compatible devices near the top of the window.
t If your DVR does not appear, choose Scan Device in LAN.
If this doesn’t work, then it indicates some kind of local
network fault.
t Select your DVR from the list - it will probably be the only
thing there, unless you’ve got another Swann DVR.
If you’re accessing the DVR via the Internet:
t Select WAN under the heading Network Type.
t If you’re using a Fixed Public IP address, choose IP
Address under Register Mode, and enter the IP address
into the space marked IP.
t If you’re using a DDNS hostname, choose Domain Name
under Register Mode, and enter the DDNS domain name
into the eld labeled Domain.
t If you’re using the SwannDVR DDNS service, your address
will be: yourDDNSname.swanndvr.net
t Enter the Server Port for the DVR (it won’t be able to
automatically detect this over the Internet - you’ll need
to remember it!).
t Enter your Username and Password.
t Choose Login.
If you’re logging in to the DVR for the
rst time via a local network, then use
the following settings:
t IP: This eld will self-populate when
you select a DVR from the list.
t Server Port: The default is 9000.
MyDVR will automatically detect the
server port of the DVR.
t Username: To get full control of the
DVR, use the default administrator
username: admin. You can create
other accounts, but the default is
always called admin.
t Password: The default admin account
has no password. Leave this blank, and
set a password later.
