The password for a given camera can also be globally set
in the RapEthernet.ini file. It is a 32 bit number which is
specified in 8 hexadecimal digits (leading zeros can be
discarded). The default password is 0, which implies using
no password at all. The password in the camera and the
password specified in the RapEthernet.ini file have to
match, otherwise no connection can be established. The
password can be set for individual cameras or for all
cameras, in which case all cameras need to have the
same password.
If for some reason the password is lost and because of that
no connection with the camera can be established
anymore, please contact your supplier for a solution.
3.5 Firewall
If the host PC uses a firewall or there is a firewall between
the PC and the camera then this firewall needs to be
configured properly, otherwise no connection with the
camera is possible. Both the IP address and the TCP and
UDP ports (3813) need to be enabled.
When a software firewall on the PC is used, at the first
connection to a camera a pop-up dialog is displayed.
Allowing the connection will configure the access to the
camera. When using another firewall read the manual of
this firewall to determine how to configure it properly.
3.6 Default
Configuration
Using the camera “out of the box” without changing
anything, it is configured as follows:
Broadcasting Enabled
DHCP enabled
Auto IP disabled
No Fixed IP address
Device ID is 1
No domain specified
No password
When no DHCP server is present, the camera will have the
following IP address: 192.168.10.1.
To establish a connection with the camera via a PC, a NIC
(the Network Interface Card) should be used of which the
IP address is in the same subnet range, such as:
192.168.10.200.
