3. Network Configuration
IP Installer is a utility that provides an easier, more efficient way to configure the IP address and
network settings of the devices. It even provides a convenient way to set the network settings for
multiple devices simultaneously using the batch setting function. Moreover, IP Installer can save the
network settings for all devices as a backup and restore them when necessary.
Preparation before IP Assignment
1. Always consult your network administrator before assigning an IP address to your server in order to
avoid using a previously assigned IP address.
2. Ensure the camera is powered on and correctly connected to the network.
3. MAC Address: Each device has a unique Ethernet address (MAC address) shown on the label of the
device as the serial number (S/N) with 12 digits (e.g. 00116B-XXXXXX).
4. Although the IP Installer is able to find and configure any FCS-0071 on the LAN except those that
are behind a router, it is a good idea to set the host PC to the same subnet. In order to connect to
the Web-based user interface of the camera, the host PC must be in the same subnet. For more
information about subnets, please consult your network administrator.
Using IP Installer to Assign an IP Address to FCS-0071
1. Once IP Installer has been successfully installed on the PC, double click to run the software
.
2. Click the [Device Search] to search the device in the LAN.
3. From the list, select the device with the MAC Address that corresponds to the FCS-0071 that is to be
configured. The MAC Address is identical to the unit’s S/N (Serial Number).
