APPENDIX 3
The ARP Function
Setting the IP Address
The Ethernet interface on the IP camera has a default IP address (9.68..68) that most likely needs to be chan-
ged to make it work on your local network. You need to acquire a unique IP address (ask your network administrator).
For the initial setting of the IP address the IP camera needs to be connected to the same network segment as your
client, and the IP address can then be configured by using a combination of ARP and ping command.
Use any of the following ways to set the IP address within thirty seconds after booting the IP camera (re-cycle the
power). Setting IP using the method below can only be done on the Ethernet interface.
ARP and ping from Windows or MS-DOS
The user can open the PC’s MS-DOS windows from the WINDOWS 98 operation system, or open the PC’s Command
Prompt windows from either the WINDOWS 000 or the WINDOWS XP operation system.
• Start a DOS prompt window
• Type the following in 30 seconds after the booting: arp -s <IP address> <Ethernet address>
[or arp -s <IP address> < MAC address>]
ping <IP address>
Example:
arp -s 9.68..00 00-0C-0C-00-00-0
ping 9.68..00
The IP address now is: 9.68..00.
ARP and ping from UNIX or GNU/Linux
• Start a shell
• Type the following as superuser (root): arp -s <IP address> <Ethernet address>
[or arp -s <IP address> < MAC address>]
ping <IP address>
Example:
arp -s 9.68..00 00-0C-0C-00-00-0
ping 9.68..00
The device responds to the ping in the examples above if the new address was configured. Note, this method will set
the IP address permanently.
NOTE: The default account and password after the reset are „admin” and „9999”.
