40 DIGITAL VIDEO RECORDER8.4. Router & Port ForwardingThe majority of any network will often consist of a single IP address which shares the internetaccess through a router. This IP address may be any external (public) static IP address orany dynamic IP address issued by the Internet Service Provider.The purpose of a router is to enable multiple personal computers and any other devices thatrequire internet connection to access the internet simultaneously. Most routers by defaultenable (open) commonly used ports so that mainstream applications such as HypertextTransfer Protocol (HTTP, Port 80), File Transfer Protocol (FTP, Port 21), Telnet (Port 23) andPost Office Protocol 3 (POP3, Port 110) are used.To solve the firewall problem and let visitor into the network, the user instructs the router toallow traffic to pass through on a given port. This is known as Port Forwarding, as the routerforwards (directs) all internet requests on a specific port to the local machine. With portforwarding, external visitors are able to connect to the DVR while other internal devicesremain protected.Here is the example of DVR connection.Network Router DVR IP SettingPC Connect position PC Connect positionCF① LAN ② WANA B C B CStatic IPuseSTATIC ○ △ Ｘ ★ ★DHCP ○ ▲ Ｘ ☆ ★Check the DVR IP of infoand set into Router.xSTATIC ○ ○ ○ ○ ○DHCPN/A [Need Local DHCPServer]DHCPuseSTATIC ○ △ Ｘ ★ ★DHCP ○ △ Ｘ ★ ★Check the DVR IP of infoand set into RouterxSTATIC N/ADHCP △ △ PPPOE is not supported
