1. About Network
Users can select the following types of networks:
1): Local Area Network (LAN): telecom companies offer the Internet connection, e.g. optical fiber, and users of a community/building setup Internet server, then put cables into the end user’s office/home through HUB.
2): ADSL: user applies for ADSL from Internet services supplier and get an ADSL MODEM, and then connect the computer to the ADSL MODEM, by inputting user name and password in the dialing software users can connect to Internet.
3): Close Circuit Television Broadband: users applies for CCTV connection from CCTV services supplier, and connect a computer to a CABLE MODEM to surf online.
4): In companies or Internet cafes, network administrators utilize routers or proxy server to connect all the computers to one Internet cable, and all the computers use the same Internet IP address. Most companies are using this kind of network nowadays.

2. Network Configurations
After connecting to Internet, our DVR card users should make the following configurations to make remote view/playback.

48
16 Channel Digital Video Recorder
2): In case users use ADSL network and the surveillance system computer connect to the ADSL
MODEM, then the ports have all opened by default. If not, please close fire wall by guidance of the ADSL MODEM user’s manual.
3): In case connect to Internet by proxy server, users should utilize port mapping software and open ports 5000 –5002 for the surveillance computer.
4): In case users connect to Internet by router, then users should add the IP address of the surveillance computer and open the abovementioned ports in DMZ setup or Virtual Server setup
(the names maybe different in different kind of routers) of the router.
5): For CABLE MODEM type and ADSL MODEM type, the configurations are some kind of the same:
As ADSL and CABLE MODEM network users usually use dynamic IP address, so once the
MODEM restarts, the IP addresses will change. For this situation, users should apply for DNS services.
