To connect an Encoder first:

Make sure the Encoder and NVR are both in the same network
Take note of the encoders IP
Log into the NVR web interface and go to Configuration>System>Camera management
Change D1 from plug-and-play to manual and use the Encoders IP and username and password
Change D2 from plug-and-play to manual and use the Encoders IP but also change the Channel number from 1 to 2 and type in the Encoders username and password
