IP address
The IP address identifies the camera on the network. The default value is in the range
10.x.y.z and can be found on the label on the camera.
Subnet mask
The subnet mask is used to determine if the destination is on the same subnet. The default
value 255.0.0.0 matches the 10.x.y.z network.
Default gateway
The default gateway is used to forward frames to destinations on other subnets. If the
gateway setting is invalid, transmissions to destinations on other subnets will fail.
DNS
The primary DNS is the primary domain name server that translates host names into IP
addresses. The secondary DNS is a second domain name server that is used if the primary
DNS is unavailable.
