NETWORK SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION
Using the TCP/IP protocol, up to five DX8100 Series HVRs can be networked together for remote viewing and management. In addition, up to five
simultaneous computer, web, and mobile clients can connect to each HVR. The DX8100 Series HVR supports both static IP addressing and
dynamic addressing through Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Consult your network administrator for more information regarding IP
address configuration.
The system must be turned on, connected to a network, and you must be logged in with either Power User or Administrator access to configure
network software settings. You must reboot the HVR for any network configuration changes to take effect.
To begin the network setup process:
1. Click .
2. Click . The Network page is displayed.
3. Click the Network tab if it is not already visible.
4. Enter a new name for your HVR in the Site Name field. (Site names can be up to 30 characters in length. The default site name is DX8100.)
5. Enter a unique system ID for your HVR in the System ID field. (System IDs must start with a letter, must be 15 characters or less, and cannot
include spaces or special characters.)
Your HVR’s site name is used to identify your system to clients and other DX8100 servers. Your HVR’s system ID is used to uniquely identify
your system on a local area network (LAN). System IDs are required to prevent possible conflicts with other network devices.
