10.1 Changing the device IP address
There are two ways of changing the device IP address:
Changing the device IP address via the device homepage.
Changing the IP address using the Web-Cam IP Manager
If the current IP address setting is not known, communication with the device can
be re-established in the service mode. See section 18: Service mode.
9.1.1. Changing the device IP address via the device homepage.
There are two methods of allocating a new IP address to the device using the
device homepage:
Automatic address designation by the DHCP or BOOTP server
By allocating an IP address manually
Automatic address designation by the DHCP or BOOTP server
1.
Call up the device homepage. See section 9.1: Calling up the device homepage.
2.
Select
Network settings
in the
Configuration
menu.
The
Network settings
dialogue window opens:
3.
Activate the
Automatic network configuration (DHCP)
check box
Each time the device is restarted, the DHCP or BOOTP server will automatically
reinstate the network settings (IP address, subnet mask and gateway, if
applicable).
4.
Restart your IP-Module. See section 14: Restarting the IP Module.
Manual IP address and subnet mask allocation
1.
Call up the device homepage. See section 9.1: Calling up the device homepage.
2.
Select
Network settings
in the
Configuration
menu.
The
Network settings
dialogue window opens:
3.
Enter the device IP address in the
IP-Address
box.
The IP address is made up of four numbers in the range 0 - 255, which are
separated from each other by decimal points. The IP address must be
compatible with an existing network and a given address may only be allocated
to one device. In the case of new networks, which do not use the official internet
address space, we recommend you use the ranges 192.168.x.x and 10.x.x.x.
Each x represents a number in the range 0 to 255. If the device is to be
connected directly to internet, you must use an officially registered IP address,
which will be notified to you by your internet service provider. See section 16:
Establishing access to the device via internet.
4.
Enter the device subnet mask in the
Subnet Mask
box.
