Reconfiguring Network Addresses Of Cameras
Using Bonjour*, MxEasy not only finds cameras on the same network as your computer, it
also finds MOBOTIX cameras located in other subnets (status
Invalid network
). In such a
case, you would not be able to establish any connection to cameras in a different network
or subnet (without going into much further detail regarding TCP/IP network configurations).
This is possible, for example, when a camera with a factory IP address is connected to
a network in which a DHCP server automatically assigns the IP addresses. MxEasy can
automatically configure such a camera so that it is "integrated" into your existing network.
To do so, you only have to select the affected camera in the list and then click
Continue
.
After a security prompt, a new dialog box for configuring the selected camera is displayed.
If your computer automatically obtains its IP address from a DHCP server, then this is
certainly the best choice for that specific camera and most likely for all other cameras that
have been found in a different subnet (
Get IP address automatically
option).
If you have assigned a static IP address to your computer, you will probably want to assign
static IP addresses (issued by your system administrator) to every camera (the
Use this
IP address
option). Normally, you enter the same configuration used for the network
settings of your computer.
When you click
OK
, the selected cameras are automatically reconfigured and they are
located in the same subnet as the computer.
