are only relevant if the unit is connected to an external network via Ethernet cable. (For information about
connecting the unit to an external network, please refer to the unit’s installation guide.)
NOTE: MVG and UVG units have a built-in router. The LAN settings described here define how the router
connects to the external LAN, not how the unit connects to the internal LAN managed by its router.
The connection between the unit and the router is handled automatically by the system and does not
require any configuration (see Port Forwarding, page 52).
The LAN Settings screen is used to select a connection method – static IP or DHCP – for the Video Gateway to use
when connecting to a LAN. If a static IP is to be used, you must find out what IP to use, and what the appropriate
network settings are for the IP, before you begin: This information can be acquired from your network
administrator. If you want to be able to connect to the unit remotely through the LAN connection (to view video
and/or to modify the unit’s configuration) it is not generally recommended to use a dynamic IP address.
NOTE: If your network has a firewall, make sure that the port used by the unit (configured under General
System Settings; see Ports, page 19), and port 10000, are forwarded from the gateway (router) to
your Video Gateway for incoming communication.
To adjust the LAN settings:
1. In the Main Menu, under System, click LAN. The LAN Settings screen opens:
Figure 38: LAN Settings screen (MVG)
2. For the MVG and UVG, under Router, select Enable.
For the CVG and CVG-M, if the unit is connected to a SerVision router, under Router, select Enable. Do not
select this option if the unit is connected to any other type of router.
Note: The Router field does not appear for HVG models.
3. If you want a dynamic IP address to be assigned to the unit by a DHCP server on the LAN, select the Enable
Dynamic IP (DHCP) checkbox.
Note: If this field is selected, you may not be able to access the unit remotely because the DHCP-assigned IP
may change from time to time.
Note: If this field is selected, the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS Server fields are
not relevant and are hidden.
