In order to work properly with a Videomesh
TM
unit in camera/relay mode, every IP
camera or video-server needs to be properly configured according to the
following scheme.
Any camera or video server attached to the first Ethernet interface must be
configured with the following LAN settings:
IP Address:
1.
a.b.c
Netmask:
255.0.0.0
Default Gateway:
1.0.0.1
Where
a
,
b
and
c
are the unique values that form the primary serial number of
the Videomesh
TM
unit that the camera is attached to.
Any camera or video server attached to the second Ethernet interface must be
configured with the following LAN settings:
IP Address:
2.
a.b.c
Netmask:
255.0.0.0
Default Gateway:
2.0.0.1
Where
a
,
b
and
c
are the unique values that form the primary serial number of
the Videomesh
TM
unit that the camera is attached to.
Software and Hardware Requirements
Every Videomesh
TM
unit can be configured through a web-based interface. To
perform the web-based configuration you need a PC with a web-browser, an
Ethernet LAN interface and a crossover Ethernet cable.
Suggested hardware
Cat5 Crossover Ethernet cable with RJ45 connectors
PC computer with the following characteristics:
−
Windows XP or Windows 2000.
In this manual, we are assuming
you are using Windows XP and every instruction or screenshot is
based on this assumption. Likely, a Videomesh
TM
can be
configured also using other OS, such as Linux or older version of
Windows. However, we have not tested these other OS with a
Videomesh
TM
.
−
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.
Likely, a Videomesh
TM
can be
configured also using other browsers such as older versions of
Internet Explorer, Firefox or Safari but these browsers have not
been tested. In this manual, we assume that you are using
Microsoft Internet Explorer.
−
Wired Ethernet Network Card.
