Configuring the Mini Dome Camera Parameters
When installing Pro Line 9460A mini dome cameras, you have to change their IP address to ensure
the compatibility with an existing network. The primary default IP address of the mini dome camera is
created using the APIPA addressing scheme and is in the range 176.(a+16).bc.de, based upon the
hex to decimal conversion of the MAC address of the individual device:
nn-nn-nn-na-bc-de
. When
resetting the mini dome camera to the factory default values, the IP will change back to the address
created by the APIPA.
After discovering the mini dome camera on the IP network, its network configuration parameters
need to be set. Mini dome cameras that reside on the same network must have unique IP addresses.
To set the parameters of a mini dome camera
1. In a lab, unpack the mini dome camera and place it on a table.
2. Connect the mini dome camera to a power supply or a POE power source.
3. Connect the mini dome camera in one of the following ways:
—
When using an external power supply (12VDC, 1A - sold separately), establish the Ethernet
connection by plugging a cable (straight-through or crossover) into the LAN 10/100
connector on the back of the mini dome camera.
A crossover cable should be used to directly connect the device to a computer; a straight-
through cable should be used to integrate the mini dome camera on a network.
—
When using the POE, the Ethernet connection is automatically established after being
connected to the power supply.
For more detailed information and illustrations, see the relevant Quick Installation Guide .
4. If you are using the regular power supply, connect the power supply as described in the relevant
Quick Installation Guide
.
