‘pop-up’ in Internet Explorer and must be allowed to function with the
CC5MPX.
4.4 Setup Using Ethernet
4.4.1 Link Local IP Address Auto-Configuration
The CC5MPX supports an automatic IP address configuration in situations
where the camera is directly connected, via Ethernet cable, to a computer
without the need of a DHCP server.
This feature is automatically enabled in the camera and is transparent to its
normal operation. In this situation, the camera will be accessible using the IP
address 169.254.99.99. This address will be valid for accessing the camera in
any network configuration.
In order to use Link Local IP address, the computer connecting to
the CC5MPX must be configured to use DHCP. If the computer
is configured to use a static IP, one of the remaining interface
arrangements will need to be used.
4.4.2 Static IP Address Setup
If the computer is not set to use DHCP to obtain an IP address automatically,
follow the procedure outlined in this section to access the camera’s web page.
Consult with an IT department employee if not familiar with configuring
devices for operation on a network.
The default static IP address for the camera is 192.168.1.90. If the standard
assigned static IP address is compatible with the current network, simply plug
the camera into the network and access the web page using this IP. If this IP
address is not compatible with the network, connect the camera directly to the
computer’s Ethernet port in order to change its IP address.
The easiest way to connect to the CC5MPX to change its IP address settings is
to manually configure the computer’s Ethernet IP address to be compatible
with the default address assigned to the CC5MPX.
Administrator access is required to make these changes to the computer’s
network settings. The procedure for changing these network settings in
Windows 7 is explained below:
Connect the CC5MPX camera directly to the computer’s Ethernet port. Use
either a standard Ethernet cable or a crossover Ethernet cable, as the CC5MPX
auto-MDIX feature allows the camera to automatically connect using either
cable.
