By default, your DVR uses port 8090 for the web port, 9000 for the Media port, 10510 for the Mobile server port, and 8000 for the Setup port. If any of these ports are used by to another device on your network, configure your DVR to use a different port. Do not assign the ports used by your DVR for Web, Media, Setup or Mobile to any other device on your local network. Also, when choosing a port for port forwarding an Internet connection to your DVR, do not use any of these ports, or other ports on your network already in use.
