Detecting the ME6 IR Dome on the Network
The Discovery Browser (Edge Devices version) tool, available for download from the
March Networks Partner Portal and official website, is a user-friendly Network Discovery
Utility that allows you to configure the network settings of each March Networks device
on the network. It also allows you to upgrade the camera’s firmware. For more
information about the tool’s installation and usage, consult the
Discovery Browser User
Guide
, available for download from the March Networks Partner Portal and official
website.
Important Notes:
You must upgrade the Discovery Browser to version 4.5 (or higher) to
discover ME6 cameras.
You can change the assigned link-local IP address in the 169.254.XXX.XXX range and
switch it to a valid static IP using the following procedure.

1 Launch the Discovery Browser tool.

The

another discovered device by changing the IP address field color to red, and by
highlighting the conflicting devices in the list.

Netmask
field.
6 Enter the IP address of the network gateway in the
Gateway
