How To - Select A Network Address For Your NVR
Note these settings for later
Selected IP Address:
Subnet Mask:
Default Gateway:
4
1
2
3
On a Windows PC connected to
the network you want to connect
the NVR to, press the ‘
Windows
’
key and the ‘
R
’ key together.
When the ‘
Run
’ box pops up type
‘
cmd
’ and press ‘
OK
’.
In the Command Prompt
window type ’
ipconfi g
’ and press
‘
enter
’. Make note of the ‘
Subnet
Mask
’ and ‘
Default Gateway
’.
This will be just under the ‘
IPv4
Address
’ which is the address of
the PC that you are on.
The NVR’s ‘
Default Gateway
’ must
be the same as the network’s from
step 2. The NVR’s default IP address
is 192.168.001.240. The fi rst 3
numbers must match your ‘
Default
Gateway
’ (e.g. 192.168.001). The
last number (240) must be unique
on the network.
If the response is ‘
Destination Host Unreachable
’ the address is not in use and
can be used. If the response has a time then the address is in use and you will
need to try another until you fi nd a free one to use in the NVR.
To see if the address is free you need to ping it. When pinging make sure the
NVR is
NOT
plugged into the network. In Command Prompt type ‘
ping address
’
e.g. ‘
ping 192.168.001.240
’
