Using LocalView to Modify the IP Address of a Rapid Eye Unit
Before setting-up a network connection for remote PCs, the simplest way to change a unit’s
IP address or to enable DHCP is to use LocalView to access the unit’s network settings. Do
so by using LocalView to either:
• Access the network settings of the DVR. See the Rapid Eye™ Multi-Media Digital Video
Recorder Installation Guide .
• Use the Quick Setup Wizard. Refer to the Rapid Eye™ Multi-Media DSP Unit Quick
Start Guide .
Note For dial-up connections, LocalView is not needed.
Note Rapid Eye units offering Video Analytics that run V8.1 or older V9 software
can ONLY use LocalView to configure network settings. LocalView is now fully
supported by Rapid Eye’s latest V9 software. Download the latest software at
www.honeywellvideo.com/support/downloads/downloads_dvr.html .
Testing a Connection
Use the View application to run a Maintenance Session on the Rapid Eye unit using that
connection. See also Connection Report on page 56 .
