LTS Connect HelpcentrumNetwork Settings
Configure TCP/IP, Guarding Vision, DDNS, PPPoE, NTP, SNMP, Email, and port settings for the Turbo HD DVR GUI 4.0.
Configure TCP/IP Settings
Purpose: TCP/IP settings must be properly configured before operating the device over network.
Go to System > Network > TCP/IP.
Figure 16-1 TCP/IP Settings
Select Net-Fault Tolerance or Multi-Address Mode under Working Mode.
- Net-Fault Tolerance: The two NIC cards use the same IP address, and you can select the main NIC to LAN1 or LAN2. By this way, in case of one NIC card failure, the device will automatically enable the other standby NIC card so as to ensure the normal running of the whole system.
- Load Balance: By using the same IP address and two NIC cards share the load of the total bandwidth, which enables the system to provide two Gigabit network capacity.
- Multi-address Mode: The parameters of the two NIC cards can be configured independently. You can select LAN1 or LAN2 under Select NIC for parameter settings. You can select one NIC card as default route. And then the system is connecting with the extranet the data will be forwarded through the default route.
Configure other IP settings as needed.
- Check Enable DHCP to obtain IP settings automatically if a DHCP server is available in the network.
- Valid range of MTU value is 500 to 9676.
Click Apply.
Configure Guarding Vision

Configure PPPoE
If the device is connected to Internet through PPPoE, you need to configure user name and password accordingly under System > Network > TCP/IP > PPPoE.
Contact your Internet service provider for details about PPPoE service.
Configure NTP
Purpose: Connection to a network time protocol (NTP) server can be configured on your device to ensure the accuracy of system date and time.
Go to NTP settings
Go to System > Network > TCP/IP > NTP.
Figure 16-4 NTP Settings

- NTP Server: IP address of the NTP server.
- NTP Port: Port of the NTP server.
Apply
Click Apply.
Configure SNMP
Purpose: You can configure SNMP settings to get device status and parameter information.
Before You Start: Download the SNMP software to receive device information via SNMP port. By setting the trap address and port, the device is allowed to send alarm event and exception message to the surveillance center.
Go to SNMP settings
Go to System > Network > Advanced > SNMP.
Figure 16-5 SNMP Settings
Enable SNMP
Check Enable. A message box will pop up to prompt possible security risk and click Yes to continue.
Configure SNMP settings

- Trap Address: IP address of the SNMP host.
- Trap Port: Port of the SNMP host.
Apply
Click Apply.
Configure Email
Purpose: The system can send an Email to designated users when a specified event occurs, such as an alarm or motion event is detected, or the administrator password is changed, etc.
Before You Start: The device must be connected to a local area network (LAN) that contains an SMTP mail server. The network must be connected to either an intranet or the Internet depending on the location of the e-mail accounts to send notification.
Go to Email settings
Go to System > Network > Advanced > Email.
Figure 16-6 Email Settings
Configure Email parameters
Configure the following Email settings.

Configure Ports
You can configure different types of ports to enable relevant functions.
Go to System > Network > Advanced > More Settings and configure port settings as needed.
- Alarm Host IP/Port: With a remote alarm host configured, the device will send the alarm event or exception message to the host when an alarm is triggered. The remote alarm host must have the client management system (CMS) software installed. The Alarm Host IP refers to the IP address of the remote PC on which the CMS software (e.g., iVMS-4200) is installed, and the Alarm Host Port (7200 by default) must be the same as the alarm monitoring port configured in the software.
- Server Port: Server port (8000 by default) should be configured for remote client software access and its valid range is 2000 to 65535.
- HTTP Port: HTTP port (80 by default) should be configured for remote web browser access.
- Multicast IP: Multicast can be configured to enable live view for cameras that exceed the maximum number allowed through network. A multicast IP address covers Class-D IP ranging from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 and it is recommended to use the IP address ranging from 239.252.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. When adding a device to the CMS software, the multicast address must be the same as that of the device.
- RTSP Port: RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) is a network control protocol designed for use in entertainment and communications systems to control streaming media servers. The port is 554 by default.
- Output Bandwidth Limit: You can check the checkbox to enable output bandwidth limit.
- Output Bandwidth: After enable the output bandwidth limit, input the output bandwidth.
