Testing your network connection
To ensure your network is running correctly it is often a good idea to run a network test. To do this go to a computer attached to
your network and open up the command prompt (For Vista and 7 type CMD into the search box, for Windows XP/2000 go to
Start->Run then type CMD).
In the Command prompt box type Ping then the IP address of your DVR for example “ping 192.168.0.8” If you get a reply then
your DVR is now on the network. If not, recheck your settings and ensure your IP and default gateway address are correct.
If you don’t know your routers address, then instead of ping type ipconfig. This will give you the details of the computers
network settings. Including the default gateway IP address
