Firewall Settings
Firewalls are hardware devices or software that prevent unwanted network connections from occurring. Fire-
wall software is present in Windows XP and above and it may prevent your computer for communicating
with the NR60E2. The internal webserver uses port 80, which is the default http port, and should work with-
out changing any firewall settings. Configuring your firewall to allow communication with the NR60E2 is
beyond the scope of this manual.
Disable All Unused Network Interfaces
Routing and default gateway setting on your computer might prevent connection to the NR60E2. Broadcast
packets that are used to find the NR60E2 often go out the wrong port. The easiest way to avoid this problem
is to temporarily disable all network interfaces that are not attached to the NR60E2.
This includes all wireless interfaces as well as all Bluetooth interfaces.
Configure Your Network Interface
Before you can communicate with the NR60E2, your network interface must be on the same subnet as the
encoder.
If you do not know the IP address the NR60E2 is presently using, set the Address Switches on
the NR60E2 to ‘999’ to set an address to 192.168.0.50. See
Use the NR60E2 IP Address
Switches , starting on page 35 for information on setting the address switches.
The rest of this procedure assumes you are using the 192.168.0.xxx subnet. If you are not, you
will have to adjust the given network addresses accordingly.
The easiest way to check the current settings for your NIC is with the ‘ipconfig’ command.
