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 PD637 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. 000429-XXXXXX).
4. Although the IP Installer is able to find and configure any PD637 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.
