NETWORK SETUP
Multiple DVR5100 Series DVRs can be networked for remote operation and management using the TCP/IP protocol. Up to three simultaneous PC
clients can be connected to each DVR. All remote client connections are made over a secure virtual private network (VPN) session to reduce the
threat of attacks on the DVR. The DVR5100 supports both static IP addressing and dynamic addressing through a Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP). The DVR5100 provides a 1-Gigabit network port (refer to Figure 37). Refer to Table Q on page 69 for more information on
network settings and defaults.

To set up the system network information:
1. Click the Mode list [or use the joystick] to select a Static or DHCP address type. If your system uses static IP addresses, you must also enter
information for the subnet mask and default gateway.
2. Select the Bandwidth Throttle:
• Set the Limit. The options are LAN (default), T1, 768 Kbps, 512 Kbps, 384 Kbps, 256 Kbps, and 128 Kbps.
NOTE: If you are changing the bandwidth limit, the remote client(s) currently connected may need to be restarted.
• Set the Max VPN Sessions.
3. If necessary, select the “DNS server” box, and then type the domain name service server that you use to locate dynamic IP addresses.
[You can also use the on-screen keyboard to add the domain name service server.]
4. Select “Enable remote client” if operators will use the DVR5100 remote client application to access the DVR5100 from a remote computer.
If you select “Enable remote client,” click New Key to create a new access key for use by the remote client application. [You can also move
to New Key with the Jog (inner dial), and then press Enter/Shift.]
NOTE: You will need this access key when setting up a remote client connection. Refer to the DVR5100 Remote Client Operation manual
(C1697M).
5. If instructed by a technical support representative, select “Enable tech support login (SSH)” to allow temporary access to the DVR5100 by a
remote location technician. This feature expires automatically after 5 hours.
WARNINGS:
• If you make any changes to network configurations, you must restart the unit before those changes takes effect. Save all changes
made to network configurations before you restart the system.
• If the DVR5100 is installed behind a router with a firewall, the port mapping on the router must be configured for access to the
DVR5100 from the Internet.
