This section describes a few basic TCP/IP concepts. If you are familiar with home 
networking, you can skip to “Begin TCP/IP Settings” on page 113.

 TCP/IP settings are used to manage IP addresses on a network. An IP address 

is a number that identifies a single device on a network (in much the same way that a 
home address identifies a single home in the US). IP addresses use four numbers separated 
by periods. Each number can be from 0 to 255. Some example IP addresses are:

192.168.0.1 and 10.8.3.25

 DHCP automatically assigns IP addresses to devices on a 

network. Most home networks include a router or home gateway that has DHCP. If your 
network has DHCP, or you are creating a peer-to-peer network, your Recorder can obtain 
its IP address automatically. 

If your network does not have DHCP, you must assign an IP address for your Recorder. If 
you assign an IP address to your Recorder, remember that:

• The first three sets of numbers in the IP address usually must match the first sets of 

numbers in the IP address used by another device on the network (for example, a 
computer). The first three sets of numbers for IP addresses on a home network are 
usually: ‘192.168.0’ or ‘192.168.1.’

• If the first three sets of numbers match those of another IP address, the last set of 

numbers has to be unique.

For example, two IP addresses for devices on the same network might be ‘192.168.1.5’ 
and ‘192.168.1.6’.
