3.2.6 Starting The Camera With An Automatic IP Address (DHCP)
If your network has a DHCP server, you can start the MOBOTIX camera with DHCP support.
The camera automatically obtains an IP address from the DHCP server and announces
the new network data. Note that if the speaker has been previously deactivated, the
announcement will not be audible
(Admin Menu > Microphone and Speaker)
.
1. If the camera is powered on, disconnect the power supply by unplugging the cor-
responding cables and then reconnect the power supply.
2. After about ten seconds, the LEDs will light up and blink for about four seconds
(first blink), light up continuously and then blink again for about four seconds
(second blink).
3.
After they stop blinking for the second time (all LEDs light up continuously
again), hold the magnetic side of the custom tool over the spot above the
microphone labeled L in the figure
(the switch is inside the camera housing).
4. If you skip this step, disconnect the camera
from the power supply and start from the
beginning.
5.
Release the custom tool after around 25
seconds
when the camera emits a sound
twice
("boing, boing")
. The network data is
announced shortly afterwards.
Notes
Starting the camera with an automatic IP address (DHCP) is only
temporary
. The
network configuration of the camera can be permanently set to DHCP under
Admin
Menu > Ethernet Interface
.
Make sure that the network has a functioning DHCP server when starting the camera
with DHCP support. If this is not the case, the camera cannot obtain a valid IP address
and will use its last IP address.
You should also make sure that the cameras always obtain the same IP addresses
by assigning the MAC addresses of the cameras to the desired IP addresses.
