2.5 Install IPAdmin Tool
The IPAdmin Tool, included on the CD mini disk, is a utility that will discover cameras installed on your network and enable you
to perform the initial network setup for each camera. After a camera is setup on the network, the Microsoft Internet Explorer
®
web browser can be used to see video from the camera, set the camera’s password, date and time, finalize camera hardware
adjustments, and configure the camera for functional requirements.
The IPAdminTool can be loaded on a Microsoft Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7 operating system (32- or 64-bit). To use this utility
for the initial setup of your camera, your computer must be connected to the same network subnet as your camera.
At a computer on the same LAN (subnet) where your cameras will be installed, do the following:
1.
Insert the CD mini disk provided with your camera into your computer’s CD ROM drive and open the CD in a Windows
Explorer window.
2.
Find the IPAdminTool directory on the CD.
3.
Copy the IPAdminTool directory with its contents to your computer hard drive.
2.6 Configure the camera network settings
Devices attached to a Local Area Network (LAN) are each assigned a unique address (IP address) that they use when sending
messages with each other. No two devices on a single Ethernet network can have the same IP address. Otherwise, addressing
conflicts will occur.
