How to Determine the IP Addressing Scheme for your Network
The example shown here illustrates how to determine the IP Addressing
scheme for your network, using the Windows XP operating system. The
procedure is similar for all other versions of Windows.
When setting an IP address, you must make sure that the address you
specify has the same first three octets (or segments) as the other devices
on your LAN. In the figure on the previous page, the camera has the
following IP address: 10.1.1.114. The address is comprised of four
segments separated by periods. Each segment is called an “octet”. All
devices on your LAN must have the same first three octets, in this case
“10.1.1”. Therefore, all devices on your LAN must have IP addresses of
the form “10.1.1.x”, where “x” is a number between 0 and 254. When
setting the IP address for the network camera, it is recommended (but not
required) that you choose a number towards the end of the range between
0 and 254, excluding 254 itself. (Occasionally, the number 254 is used
as the final segment for the
default
IP address of other devices.)
Selecting a number towards the end of the range (preferably between 200
and 250) will help avoid conflicts with IP addresses that are already
being used by other devices on the LAN.
To determine the common octets/segments for your LAN settings, follow
the steps outlined in the next two pages.
