ISP name Default IP address Alice-Box 192.168.1.1 AOL-Box 192.168.1.1 B-Box 192.168.1.254 Club-Internet-Box 192.168.1.1 Darty-Box 192.168.1.254 Darty-Box (expert mode) 192.168.1.254 Neuf-Box 192.168.1.1 Orange LiveBox 192.168.1.1 SFR-Box 192.168.1.1 C-Box 192.168.30.1 Free-Box 192.168.0.254 Numéricâble (CastleNet) 192.168.100.1 Numéricâble (Netgear) 192.168.0.1 The IP addresses of the computer, the recorder and the box must all be in the same subnetwork. Example 1: The IP address of the computer is 192.168.1.179 The subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 The IP address of the box (generally the same as the IP address of the default gateway) is 192.168.1.1 In this case, it is not necessary to change the IP address of the recorder, which is 192.168.1.108 by default Example 2: The IP address of the computer is 192.168.0.179 The subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 The default gateway is 192.168.0.254 In this case, the IP address of the recorder must be changed, otherwise it will not be able to communicate on the network. The IP address to be given to the recorder: - Must be between 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.254. - Must not be used by any other device on the network (in this example, do not use 192.168.0.179 and 192.168.0.254 which are the IP addresses of the computer and the box respectively). For this it may be useful to list the addresses already taken on the network (see the Quick VMS tool on the mini CD-ROM) In this example, the IP address for the recorder can therefore be 192.168.0.108. 48

To connect to the recorder from a computer that is not on the local area network, you must first connect to the external IP address of the router. To do this, you must obtain the following information from the internet service provider (ISP): - Type of IP address (static or dynamic). - If the IP address is dynamic, whether it is possible to obtain a static IP address. If it is, request one. If the IP address is static, go to Section 4.7.4.2. If the IP address is dynamic and it is not possible to obtain a static address, the access must be configured with a dynamic DNS account. The modem routers provided by telephone operators, often referred to as Boxes, are the exclusive property of the operators. They may be updated or reconfigured at any time, which may change or delete the configurations previously set by the customer. 52
