MAC ADDRESS: In a local area network(LAN)
the MAC (Media Access Control) address is 
your computer’s unique hardware identity 
code.(On an Ethernet LANit is the same as 
your Ethernet address.) When you are 
connected to the Internet from your computer 
(or host as the Internet protocol thinks of it )
corresponding table relates your IP address to 
your computer’s physical (MAC) address on the 
LAN.
IP ALLOCATION: DVR supports DHCP and 
Static IP modes. If your modem/router 
supports DHCP mode use DHCP. When using 
STATIC mode, you will be required to setup 
your internet settings manually. 
 
Note: After setting the DVR to DHCP mode 
restart the unit. 
IP Address: In a local network, the IP 
address is a unique designated address for 
your DVR recognized by your router. 
Ensure this number is within the range 
usable by your modem/router. Use the UP 
“▲”and DOWN “▼” buttons to move the 
cursor and use the “SELECT” button to 
change the numbers. Once you have 
finished the changes restart your DVR.
