CHAPTER 4
M-Series IP Interface
M-Series IP Interface and PC Operations
The M-Series cameras and JCUs are network devices that communicate
over an Ethernet network using the Internet Protocol (IP). In addition to
using a JCU to control and configure a camera, a user or installer can also
do similar operations (and even more advanced configurations) using a web
browser
1
when a PC or a laptop is connected to the network. This IP inter-
face also allows marine electronics integrators with software development
capabilities to design customized applications that integrate the camera and
JCU capabilities with other types of marine electronics.
This chapter describes how to use a web browser to communicate with and
configure the M-Series cameras and JCUs. Integrators are encouraged to
contact FLIR directly to obtain more detailed information about the Nexus
Software Developer’s Kit (SDK) and the communication protocols supported
on the M-Series cameras and JCUs: +1.888.747.3547.
In most M-Series camera installations, a PC may not be needed or used.
One or more JCUs will allow complete control and configuration of all the
cameras on the network.The M-Series web interface may be useful for more
complex installations that have other devices on the network or a need for
customization.
1 Supported web browsers: Microsoft Internet Explorer version 7 or 8 on PC plat-
forms running Microsoft Windows. Internet Explorer 8 may have to be configured
to run in compatibility mode.
