System Info:
When the NVR is first powered on, during the initial boot sequence, it will wait to be assigned an IP address via DHCP.
If it does not receive a DHCP assigned IP address, by default it will have a self-assigned IP address of
192.168.0.32.
It is recommended to use the included
D-Link NVR Search Utility
when accessing and configuring the NVR for the
first time. If you would like to change the IP address before logging in or if you are unable to connect to the NVR IP
address, you can use the
NVR Search Utility
provided on the product CD to locate the device on your network and
make any necessary changes.
The
NVR Search Utility
displays the
available NVR devices on the network.
Refresh the device list.
Click the
Configuration
button to open
a web browser for viewing, playback and
configuration. Double-clicking on the name
or IP of an NVR will also open a web
browser.
Configure the LAN Settings for the NVR
here.
Click
Apply

to the LAN Settings.
