Port
A port is an interface that enables
different programs to communicate.
Certain ports are fixed (23: Telnet, 21:
FTP), whilst others can be freely
selected. Ports are relevant for various
applications, e.g. for external access to
the device via a browser.
MAC
Address
The MAC address (Media Access
Control address or Ethernet ID) is the
specific hardware address of the network
adapter.
It is used for the unique identification of
the device on a computer network.
Network layout
The device must be physically connected to the network
with a CAT5 cable (see Connections on page 3).
Note
Please follow the instructions and notes for the
network devices.
Several switches/routers/access points can be connected
to one another. Firewalls and other security software may
have a negative effect on the network.
Warning
When using a router, the network clients, and
therefore the recorder, are "connected" to the
internet and vice versa.
You should make sure that you take protective
measures, such as using a firewall, changing your
password and changing the port, to prevent
unauthorised external access.
