NW6000 – NETWORK COMMUNICATIONS
The VDR is configurable to an address range of 172.16.0.1 to 172.31.255.254 with a 16 bit network address
mask.
The assigned IP address is fixed during normal operation of the VDR, including powering the equipment
down and up. This uses a 172.16.8.2/16 network with the VDR assigned IP address 172.16.8.2 as default.
(Each device has its own unique MAC address.
MAC addresses are most often assigned by the manufacturer of a network
interface controller (NIC) and are stored in its hardware, such as the card's readonly memory or some other firmware mechanism

Multicast address range
This VDR is prepared for recording of video, using the IEC-61162-450 standard.
Connection of video devices, using this protocol, can be achieved using the Ethernet ports on the switch.
Available IP and port range:
The range 239.192.0.1 to 239.192.0.64 is reserved for current and future use in the application layer
protocols however the VDR does not use multicast addresses in the range 239.192.0.1 to 239.192.0.64.
