DVR Configuration

  • On the DVR, we need to make sure that the DHCP reservation was set up correctly
    • Connect to CradlePoint Wi-Fi (If using Wi-Fi) else make sure DVR is plugged into CradlePoint via Ethernet.
      • Press Windows key and click on network adapter on lower right corner
      • Select network 
    • Open Command Prompt 
      • Press Windows Key
      • Type CMD
    • Run # ipconfig 
      • Verify if IP matches DHCP reservation IP you configured earlier 
    • If IP address does not match, run the following commands to get a new IP address.
      • # ipconfig /release 
      • # ipconfig /renew 

 

Laptop

  • The last step is to configure Getac Remote to use the IP Address we configured.
    • Open explorer and head to C:\Program Files (x86)\IRSARemote.
    • Copy RemoteDisplay.exe.config to the desktop.
    • Open the file with notepad.
    • Edit the IP address to match the IP address we configured on the CradlePoint.
    • Replace the original RemoteDisplay.exe.config with the one we just edited.
    • Launch Getac Remote to make sure it works.
