Mac Quickstart
This Quickstart section applies to a common configuration for Mac users:
You have a current version Apple Airport (Extreme, Time Capsule, or Express),
and your Airport is directly connected to a DSL or cable modem.
In this section you will be interacting mostly with
Airport Utility
. Please note
that
Airport Utility
(and this Quickstart section) does not apply at all if you do
not have an Apple Airport router. In that case, go to Generic Quickstart.
Start Airport Utility by clicking on its icon in your Mac’s
Utilities
folder. Now
select your Airport by clicking on its picture, and then log in with your Airport
password. If you have trouble with these initial steps, Apple tech support can
help. Since Sharx Security does not sell routers, we cannot help with the basics
of setting up your wireless network or with router login or password issues.
Next, click on “
Edit
” and you should now see a screen with several tabs at the
top, including “Base Station”, “Internet”, “Wireless”, and “Network”.
Click on “
Network
” and verify that the “
Router Mode
” is “
DHCP and NAT
”.
If it isn’t, don’t change it. It would mean that this Airport is not your main
router. If you have multiple Airports, you’d need to exit out of Airport Utility
and start at the beginning, selecting another Airport that is your main router.
Note: If your main router is not an Apple Airport, it means your Airport is used
only to add wireless functionality to a wired router supplied by your internet
provider. In that case this entire chapter would not apply and you’d go to the
“
Generic Quickstart
” section in this manual to set up your main router.
With your camera powered up and connected to one of the Airport’s LAN
jacks, it is ready to use as soon as you reserve its IP address as follows:
Still in the “
Network
” tab, click on the “
+
” button at the bottom of the “
DHCP
Reservations
” box, then enter a name for the camera such as “SharxCam1”.
Make sure the “
Reserve Address by
” option is set to “
MAC Address
”.
Now enter the MAC address of your Sharx camera, which you can find on a
sticker on the back of indoor models or on a tag on the cable of outdoor
models. Be careful about typos. There are numbers from 0-9 and letters in the
range of A-F only. There is no letter O, just number 0 and letter D. Typical
Sharx Security MAC addresses start with 7C but this is dependent on the
specific model.
