1606A+ Remote Viewing Setup

Remote viewing with the 606A+ and the DVR042. Below is a list of items you will need to have in your
possession before continuing. NOTE: We do not support the setup of any router besides the Linksys
BEF-SR41. We can attempt to get you up and running, however, we cannot guarantee your setup. We
do not support the setup of integrated modem/routers. For example, if your modem has more than
one ethernet port, built in DHCP server or firewall, we cannot support this. This is a support issue for your
ISP (Internet Service Provider).

Steps to Installation
Step 1: The first step is to connect the DVR to the monitor/television that you have and turning it on. This
will make sure that the DVR is functioning properly and doesn’t have any immediate problems.
Step 2: Next you will want to install the Ethernet router into your current system setup. It will install between
your Ethernet modem and your computer which you will be using at this time. The router itself is labeled
on the back of it usually as to where you plug each connection into. Now you will take the other Ethernet
cable that you have and connect the DVR to the router. Simply plug it into one of the other available
ports just like the one you plugged the computer into.
Step 3: Go to your DVR and press the MENU button. Then pressing the down button (which is the button
directly under the ENTER key) scroll down to the ADVANCED section then press ENTER to go into this menu.
Next you will need to use the “DOWN” arrow key and proceed to the TCP/IP menu and press ENTER. In
this section you will want to change the IP address that is specified in the DVR to 192.168.001.110. Once
this is set you can now close out of the DVR’s menu by pressing the ESC key until your back at the main
screen.
How to change the IP address: To change the IP address you will need to use the REWIND/FAST FORWARD
keys to get to the number you want to change. After getting to this number in the bottom right corner
there are two keys one that is a Left Facing Triangle and a Right Facing Triangle.
Step 4: Next go to your computer and open up Internet Explorer (the E on your desktop) and type in the
address bar the following: 192.168.1.1, this will bring you to a login screen where you will need to type for
both the username and password ADMIN. Once you’re in the main setup screen of the Linksys router look
for a menu up top named APPLICATIONS AND GAMING, if you see this move your mouse over to it and
Left Click it which will then bring you into the submenu.

Step 5: In this menu we will be setting up the DVR within the router. Go down to the first box under the
word Application type DVR, then go to the next box under Start and make sure 80 is selected for it and
80 for the box under End as well, the box under Protocol should be set as Both and IP address should
read the following 192.168.1.110 (you will only have to type in the last set of numbers so just type in 110
in the box, and finally make sure the box under Enabled is checked. If you did this all correctly it will look
exactly like the following…
Go to the bottom of the screen and click Save Settings, wait a few moments then move on to the next
step after closing that window.
Step 6: If you are looking to view the DVR from a computer other than the one hooked up currently you will
need to also go to the SECURITY tab and look at the bottom where it states the following.
Block Anonymous Internet Requests: O Enabled O Disabled
Disable this if you are looking to view it remotely.
Step 7: On your computer, click the Start button, then Run, then type in CMD, click OK.
The screen will look similar to above. Type in ping 192.168.1.110. You should then see something similar to this:
If you see Request Timed Out Please see troubleshooting section at the end of this guide.
Step 8: Open up the DVR software (either the desktop icon or DVRX.exe)
Your DVR software will open up, if it does not, make sure the file ijl15.dll is in the same directory as your dvrx.exe
file. The screen will look a little different for the four channel version.

see.
Remote Viewing from a Remote Location

Now that you have it setup to view it over the network at your home/office you will now be setting it up
to view from a remote location OTHER than the same place that the DVR is at.
2.
Open internet explorer again (E) and in the address bar up top type in the following www.whatismyip.
com and press enter once you’ve finished typing it. It should bring up a webpage in bolt print at the top it should
show you your IP address.
3.
Write down the IP address that it shows you your computer is using and re-open the DVR software. Click on
the SETUP button and then input your information again but this time using the IP ADDRESS from www.whatismyip.
com and everything else will be the same as your previous time setting up the software.
4.
If everything is typed in correctly in the box on the right side you should see the word status: and the words
waiting for connection underneath it. The previous status should change to Connected then receiving and soon
there after you should have images appearing on your screen that show the video that the cameras see.
Troubleshooting Guide
If you’re sure you’ve installed everything correctly and still cannot get an image on the screen at all then here
are a few ideas.
Then there may be something not set up or configured correctly and then you will need to go back and check
your connections, wiring, or possibly your settings set in the DVR or the Router itself. Other things that could cause
a connection problem could be but or not limited to the following…
1)
Is there a firewall on your computer to block outside anonymous users from accessing your computer via
the internet?
2)
Are all your wires properly connected and the lights on the router all GREEN and none are a yellow color?
(there should be one yellow light that flickers)
3)
Does your Cable modem/DSL modem have a built in firewall or a built in router?
If you answer YES to either one of the first two you will need to resolve that before trying to further troubleshoot
your systems installation. If the third one you are unsure of or do not understand what is meant by this then you
should contact your local internet provider that you have service with and ask them if they can show you how to
disable the firewall or bridge the router that it has built in.
