Modifying the NIC IP address
This step is optional
.
After the initial NIC hardware installation, connect the NIC directly to the camera.
The default configuration assigns an IP address automatically using the Link-Local
Address range of 169.254.xxx.xxx or an address defined by the DHCP server, if
present.
Users can fix the NIC address to minimize the time required for a camera to be
recognized by the host application.
To connect to the camera, edit the host computer’s adapter settings and configure
the following settings:
• IP Address: 169.254.100.1
• Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
• Default gateway: blank
When systems employ multiple NICs connected to multiple cameras the address of
the NICs should be set. Each NIC or NIC card port requires a unique IP address.
For example:
NIC 1:
• IP Address: 169.254.100.1
• Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
• Default gateway: blank
NIC 2:
• IP Address: 169.254.100.2
• Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
• Default gateway: blank
