(☞ Installation Guide)w Access restriction by changing the HTTP port numberBy changing the HTTP port number, it is possible to prevent illegal access such as a port scanning, etc.(☞ Installation Guide)To enhance the network securityIt is possible to enhance the network security by dividing the subnet using a router to authenticate users twice(by the recorder and by the router). When connecting the recorder to an unsecured network, secure the networkconnection by installing a VPN (Virtual Private Network) device, etc. between the recorder and the host PC.Important:• The settings for the network security vary depending on the network to which the recorder is to be con-nected such as an intranet or Internet service provider. Refer to a network administrator for further infor-mation about the network security.[Connection example]By using a firewall, etc., it is possible to use packet filtering and protocol filtering to enhance the network secu-rity.[Connection example]
