ADDING A SITE WITH AN UNKNOWN IP ADDRESS
This section describes how to add a site with an unknown IP address. To be successful, the following stipulations must be satisfied:
Each DVR must be attached to the same subnet.
The first three octets of the IP address of the subnet must be known.
The range of addresses used in the last octet of the subnet must be known.
NOTE: The DX8000 scan process running on the PC takes much longer than the scan process does running on the DX8000 server.

2. Click DX8000 Scan. The DX8000 Scan dialog box opens.

b. Enter the beginning value for the search range in the fourth octet; for example, 001.
c. Enter the final value for the search range in the text box provided; for example, 254. Each octet of the IP address must be an integer
between 1 and 255.
