IP Address Configuration
By default, all IP cameras are Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP )
enabled. If you have a DHCP server, the device will automatically obtain a valid
IP configuration. If the DHCP configuration fails, the device assigns itself a
temporary IP address based on the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA )
addressing format.
Note
If you plan on using the IP cameras with the Nextiva video management
software, you need to disable the DHCP setting and manually set an IP address
for the device.
The APIPA scheme, available on the Windows operating systems, allows a
device to assign itself a temporary IP address until it receives a complete
network configuration, either manually or from a DHCP server.
A device in APIPA mode does not reside on the same subnet as the other
devices on the IP network. Therefore, it may not be able to view or be visible
by the other devices. All Nextiva edge devices use the following temporary
APIPA configuration:
IP address: 169.254.X.Y (where X and Y are based on the last two octets of
the MAC address of the device)
Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
Gateway: 169.254.*.*
Setting a Static IP Address
By default, all Verint devices are Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
enabled. If you have a DHCP server, the device will automatically obtain a valid
IP configuration. If the DHCP configuration fails, the device assigns itself a
temporary IP address based on the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA )
addressing format.
Note
If you plan on using the device with the Nextiva video management software,
you need to disable the DHCP setting and manually set an IP address for the
device.
The APIPA scheme, available on the Windows operating systems, allows a
device to assign itself a temporary IP address until it receives a complete
network configuration, either manually or from a DHCP server.
