Cellular connectivity notes
DVR cellular status messages
“modem signal drops, errors and does not reconnect” means signal is poor or no signal. so please double check if the sim card is well plug and with antenna and data there.
Engineer said there is an procedure when connect with cellular :
KO ERR -> OPEN ERR ->SIM/CPIN ERR -> CSQ ERR > CREG ERR> APN ERR ->DAILING ERR -> GET IP ERRor -> Success.
If there is any error, the status will go back to KO ERR, so could you take a picture of the last status where DVR goes back to KO error, then will be able to know the last failure spot.
LAN connection to D8
Set D8 IP address
configure a static IP (192.168.0.250 is set in our config file)
If IP not set by config file then: Open dvr display interface, revise the info in LAN interface (IP, Mask, Gateway, MAC) click OK to exit
Set computer to correct network segment (192.168.0.10)
1、connect DVR with network: dvr and computer in the same router or directly connect DVR to the computer. Computer and dvr should be in the same network segment.
2、Run cmd, see if you can ping the IP just set in DVR
If it works, You can continue to enter the command：
Telnet in DVR
Turn on Telnet Client in Windows 10: Control Panel> Programs> turn windows features on or off
telnet 192.168.0.250 or //192.168.0.250 (IP just set in DVR)

//After logging in, enter the following command：
echo xxxxxxxxxx > /etc/DeviceUid
//xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (new uid)
Power off and reboot // reboot is necessary
