4.2 Configure Your Ipxcam Network Settings
Upon connecting with the network hardware, you need to activate the network function and
configure the proper network settings of the Ipxcam.
4.2.1 Enable DHCP Function
This function can only work if the LAN, which the unit is connected to, has a DHCP server. If the
DHCP server is working, please move the dip switch points up to
3
on the flank panel; now the
Ipxcam will obtain an IP address automatically from the DHCP server. In that case, please skip
section 4.2.2 (Set IP address) and follow section 4.3 (TCP/IP Communication Software).
4.2.2 Set IP Address
You need to set an IP address for the unit if the LAN unit isn’t connected to a DHCP server.
Otherwise, please follow the instructions given below:
Set the
IP
,
MASK
and
GATEWAY
. The following is a sample setting.
IP:
192.168.1.X
MASK: 255.255.255.0
GATEWAY:
0.0.0.0
NOTE: When only one unit of the Ipxcam is connected to a computer or LAN, you can
freely assign an IP address for the Ipxcam. For example, there is a range of
Ipxcam IP addresses from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.255. You can pick one for use
from the range of the IP. It’s not necessary to set MASK and GATEWAY; leave the
settings as default.
When an Ipxcam is connected to a WAN, you must acquire a unique, permanent
IP address and correctly configure the MASK and GATEWAY settings according
to your network architecture. If you have any questions regarding those settings,
please consult a qualified MIS professional or your ISP.
NOTE: When connecting to a network, each connected Ipxcam must be assigned a
