PPT-E Startup and Reset 

The PPT-E system requires special attention to ensure that the overall system will 
operate correctly. The cameras use Ethernet for communications, and require a 
DHCP server to be available when they start up to assign an IP address. It is 
important that a DHCP server be running before the cameras are started. With a 
WorldViz configured PPT system, the DHCP software runs on the PPT host machine, 
and so this must be running before the cameras. WorldViz typically configures the 
DHCP server to generate IP addresses 192.168.99.100-192.168.99.199 on a 
secondary network card. 
  
To start up a PPT-E system, perform the following steps: 
1. Connect all PPT-E cameras to the PoE ethernet switch 
2. Power up the PPT host computer 
3. Wait until the host computer has completely started, and the DHCP server 
software is running 
4. Wait at least 1 minute for the PPT-E cameras to start, acquire network addresses, 
and prepare for capturing 
5. If there are any problems, power cycle the PoE ethernet switch, which will reboot 
the cameras 
6. Start up the PPT Studio software, and tracking should begin 
  
If there are problems with the cameras, simply power cycle the PoE ethernet switch, 
which will reboot all the cameras. The system should be ready 1 minute later and 
ready to use. 

PPT-H Startup 

The PPT-H system requires special attention to ensure that the overall system will 
operate correctly. The cameras use Ethernet for communications, and require a 
DHCP server to be available when they start up to assign an IP address. It is 
important that a DHCP server be running before the cameras are started. With a 
WorldViz configured PPT system, the DHCP software runs on the PPT host machine, 
and so this must be running before the cameras. WorldViz typically configures the 
DHCP server to generate IP addresses 192.168.99.100-192.168.99.199 on a 
secondary network card. 
  
To start up a PPT-H system, perform the following steps: 
1. Power up all Ethernet switches and accessories 
2. Power up the PPT host computer 
3. Wait until the host computer has completely started, and the DHCP server 
software is running 
4. Power up the PPT-H cameras 
5. Wait at least 

5 minutes

 for the PPT-H cameras to start, acquire network 

addresses, and prepare for capturing
