Static IP Address Checklist
If you do not have a DHCP server, you need to provide:
• An IP address for your Recorder,
• A Subnet Mask for your home network,
• An IP address for your home gateway or router, and
• An IP address for a DNS (Name Server).
You will create a unique IP address for your Recorder. The Subnet Mask, gateway or
router IP address, and DNS IP address are usually provided by your Internet service
provider (ISP). They are also usually available on the configuration screens of your home
gateway or router.
If you have a computer on your home network, you may be able find the Subnet Mask,
home gateway, or router IP address, and DNS IP address in the computer’s TCP/IP
settings. In addition, you can use your computer’s IP address to help create an IP address
for your Recorder. For example, if your computer’s IP address is ‘192.168.1.2’ then your
Recorder’s IP address should probably also start with ‘192.168.1’ and end with a number
other than 2.
