DVR Name Service (DVRNS)

Using Static IP addresses in LAN/WAN networks requires high management overhead and increases the cost burden to users. Therefore, it has become essential for DVRs to support Dynamic IP addresses in ADSL/VDSL networks using DHCP (Dynamic Host

Configuration Protocol). This reduces cost burdens and increases cost-effectiveness for system users. Use the following steps to set up a system using DVRNS.
