How do I choose a unique IP that matches my network?
For your home or small office, ensure that all devices on your network are running. Chose an IP
address that you wish to assign the DVR. To ensure the IP address that you will assign the DVR
matches your network, review the “PC’s TCP/IP settings” that you had recorded earlier. See some
examples below.”
- If your “IP Address” entry in “PC’s TCP/IP Settings” was 192.168.0.y and your “Subnet Mask” was
255.255.255.0 then use 192.168.0.x for your DVR’s IP Address (“x” meaning any number between
2-254 that you wish, as long as it passes the “PING” test).
- If your “IP Address” entry in “ PC’s TCP/IP Settings” was 192.168.1.y and your “Subnet Mask” was
255.255.255.0 then use 192.168.1.x for your DVR’s IP Address (“x” meaning any number between
2-254 that you wish, as long as it passes the “PING” test).
After choosing an appropriate IP address, ‘PING’ the IP address that you plan to assign to the DVR.
If you receive a “Request timed out”, then you may use that IP address (the PING test has passed).
* If your “IP Address” entry under “PC’s TCP/IP Settings” is not a 192.168.z.y address with a
“Subnet Mask” of 255.255.255.0 then please contact our Support Center.
** If your “IP Address” entry under “PC’s TCP/IP Settings” is not a 192.168.z.y address, please
contact our Support Center.
How do I “PING” an IP address ?
1. Open an MS-DOS (or Command) prompt.
2. At the prompt type – “ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx” (without the quotes and replace the x’s with an IP
address)
3. Press Enter
