5.4.1 IP Assignment:
Static IP Assignment refers to the fixed settings of the ISP or network engineering department.
IP Address: Includes Static, DHCP and PPPoE. DHCP and PPPoE are typically dynamic IPs where a
DHCP server or your ISP designates an IP address each time you log on.
When using the "Static" setting, you must enter the following information:
-
IP Address
: The IP address of the Max IP Cam
-
Subnet Mask
: Set by default to 255.255.255.0
-
Gateway
: Default gateway
When using the "DHCP" setting, you do not need to enter any of the above settings. You must
only enter the address of the DHCP Server in the "Server" field.
When using the "PPPoE" setting, you must correctly enter your ISP Login name and password.
Please refer to unit 5.4.2 for details.
5.4.2 PPPoE
This menu allows you to enter the dial-up settings during PPPoE IP assignment. This usually refers
to entering your ID account name and password. Remember that you must also enter your ISP
log-in settings.
How to Setup PPPoE
Step 1. Enter your correct user ID in the "Account" field;
Step 2. Enter your correct password in the "Password" field;
Step 3. Click on
Submit
to complete your settings.
5.4.3 HTTP Server
This menu allows you to enter the port number of the MAX-IP-Cam internal web server (or HTTP
Server) via HTTP protocol. The default port number is "80".
5.4.4 DNS Server
This menu allows you to enter the IP address of the DNS (Domain Name Server).
By doing this, you can replace the IP address of the Max-IP-Cam with an http name (such as
myIPCam.XXX), making it easier to remember. The default DNS value is "168.95.1.1". If the
connection fails, the system will automatically attempt to connect to DNS2.
*
Note: Because PPPoE utilizes a dynamic IP address from an ISP, the IP settings for
the MAX-IP-Cam could differ for each use. It is suggested that an IP Router be used
to connect to the PPPoE or DDNS. This will assist your computer in finding the IPCam.
