XX207-20-03 Rev 611 MPD-980DN-O Camera Dome
CAMERA CONFIGURATION
The I-Onyx MPD-980DN-O camera is configured in a different way than other ViconNet cameras. Initial se-
tup and configuration are NOT done through VNSetup software but through a Web Browser interface. These
cameras will not show up on the ViconNet Setup Site Selection list.
The camera supports DHCP by default. If your network supports DHCP, you can connect the camera dome
directly to the network and they will automatically get an IP address. You can proceed directly to the Vicon-
Net Configuration, but Vicon recommends using a fixed IP address.
Note: If your camera network is an active DHCP server, the camera will be assigned a DHCP address. For
initial configuration, Vicon recommends to connect the camera directly to the PC using a crossover
cable or locally to bypass the DHCP server. Refer to Appendix for instructions on locating cameras
with unknown IP addresses.
Network Settings
The default IP address of the MPD-980DN-O camera is 192.168.0.100. Make sure the IP camera and your
PC are on the same network subnet mask (segment) before attempting to access the camera. Be sure to
make a note of the PC’s IP address before it is changed. It can be changed back when camera configuration
is complete.
Note: All cameras are factory set to the same default IP address; to avoid IP conflicts, only one camera can
be connected and setup at a time. After a camera has been defined, another camera can be con-
nected.
You can use these settings on
your computer network settings if
needed:
Enter the IP settings as below:
IP address: 192.168. 0.xxx
Subnet mask: 255.255.255. 0
(
NOTE
: xxx can be any number
from 1 to 254 with the exception
of 100.)
