address automatically.” Once the network settings, especially the IP address, have been entered

Vicon recommends a fixed IP address for easier manageability. The camera can automatically restart
and operate normally after a power outage. Users can run the IP Wizard (provided on CD; see
Appendix B) to check the IP address assigned to the camera if the IP address is forgotten or use
the UPnP function provided by the camera (MS Windows XP provides UPnP function at My Network
Place).
