Dynamic IP Setting  
WHAT IS A DYNAMIC IP ADDRESS?  
A Dynamic IP Address is an IP (Internet Protocol) address that changes each time you connect to the internet. This cuts down  
on the number of IP addresses large consumer providers need because not all of their customers are using the service at any  
given time. It also cuts down on bandwidth usage by preventing consumers from hosting servers. Note: a number of  
companies have started to offer services aimed at updating DNS for dynamically connected clients.  
STEP 1: SOFTWARE INSTALLATION – DYNAMIC IP SETTING:  
Follow the same procedure as outlined on Page 19 for the Static IP Setting.

Appendix 1: Installing the HDD  
NOTE: The HDD has the same purpose in a DXR209 as a videocassette does in a VCR. However, installing the HDD is a bit  
more complicated. Please follow the next steps carefully in order to ensure proper installation.  
The compartment (with the handle) located on the front panel of the DXR209 is the removable Cartridge Casing where the  
HDD is inserted. The various parts of the Cartridge Casing are labeled for your reference.  
Cartridge Casing  
1. Keyhole  
2. LED indicator lights (Power indicator & HDD Access indicator)  
3. Handle  
Step 1: Remove the Cartridge Casing from the DXR209.  
Lift the handle and pull towards you. The Cartridge Casing will slide out of the DXR209.  
NOTE: The Cartridge must be unlocked to remove it, (please see step 8 for more information on locking and unlocking the  
removable HDD cartridge).  
Step 2: Remove the Cover from the Cartridge Casing.  
Step 3: Unclip the release latch with the word “OPEN,” printed beside it by gently pushing on the latch.  
Step 4: Slide the cover off the Cartridge Casing.  
Step 5: Insert the HDD into the Cartridge Casing.  
Take the Hard Disk Drive and connect the two cables from the back of the Cartridge Casing to the HDD.  
The cables should be pushed in firmly, but not forcibly.

Step 6: Secure the HDD in the Cartridge Casing.  
Position the HDD into place and secure it using the six screws supplied.  
Step 7: Slide the top Cover over the Cartridge Casing.  
Slide the Cover forward over the Cartridge Case. Ensure it is secured in place over the release latch.  
Reinsert the Cartridge Casing into the DXR209  
Step 8: Lock the Cartridge  
To Lock the cabinet, turn the key clockwise to Position A.  
A
(locked)  
B
(unlocked)  
To unlock the cabinet, turn the key counter-clockwise to Position B.  
NOTE: The DXR209 will not function if the key is not in the locked position.  
1. The HDD should be selected as “Master “.  
2. This product does not support hot swap. Please power off the unit before removing HDD.  
3. Approved models and manufactures of HDD are listed in Appendix #6 and have been tested and proven compatible with  
this DVR.  
4. Please remove hard disk drive ONLY after power is shut off for more than 60 seconds. This would protect and extend the  
operating life of the hard disk drive.  
5. HDD should be set up by selecting HDD Jumper.
