Using a Router to Connect to the Internet
If you are using a router to connect to the internet, you can obtain the your network
settings by connecting to your router using Microsoft Internet Explorer. Because
every router manufacturer uses different login and password information you need
to identify the default user name and password for your specific router. If you
do not have this information, you can go to portforward.com which maintains a
large collection of default user name and passwords for various manufacturers.

1.
From the OpenEye recorder, exit the Live View screen and restart in Windows
Mode. Click the
Start
button on the Windows desktop and from the
All
Programs
menu, select
Accessories
and then select
Command Prompt
.
2.
In the
Command Prompt
window, type
ipconfig
and press
Enter.
3.
Write down the settings displayed in the
Command Prompt
window and
continue with the
IP Address
section. The settings are necessary to complete
the network configuration on your OpenEye recorder.
Using Another Computer on the Network
You can easily identify your network settings by doing the following:
1.
From another computer on your network (that is NOT the OpenEye recorder);
click the
Start
button on the Windows desktop and from the
All Programs
menu, select
Accessories
and then select
Command Prompt
.
2.
In the
Command Prompt
window, type
ipconfig
and press
Enter
.
3.
Write down the settings displayed in the
Command Prompt
window and
return to your OpenEye recorder. Continue with the
IP Address
section. The
settings are necessary to complete the network configuration on your OpenEye
recorder.
IP Address
With the information obtained in the previous step (IP address,
Subnet Mask, Gateway) you now need to choose an IP address
that uses the same range as the IP address you wrote down. This
means that the numbers of the static IP address will match the
numbers of the IP address you wrote down except the last set
(after the third period).
For example, if you wrote down 192.168.1.12, then you could
use any of these IP addresses: 192.168.1.13, 192.168.1.14,
192.168.1.50 or 192.168.1.254. In this example, the new IP
address will be 192.168.1.xxx, and you can choose a unique
number between 2-254 for the last set.
Now that you have created an IP address you need to verify that it
is not already in use on your network. This is easy to do.
•
In the
Command Prompt
window, type
ping
followed by a
single space and the new IP address and then press
Enter
.
Repeat four times. If you get the message
Request timed
out
four times, then the IP address is not in use and it is safe
to use.
Gateway and Subnet Mask
Your can use the same Gateway and Subnet Mask addresses you
wrote down earlier; these do not need to change.
DNS
The DNS server address is typically the same as the Gateway
address. Use the Gateway address if you are unsure of your DNS
server address.
Finish
Complete the setup process by entering the network settings on the appropriate
screen of the installation wizard. After the configuration is complete you must restart
the OpenEye recorder for the changes to take affect.
