4 Assigning IP Address & Accessing Network IP Camera’s

Homepage

4.1 Assigning IP Address

To able to access Network IP Camera, you should assign an appropriate IP Address firstly.

12

Terminology

• IP Address:

IP address is an identification code for computers and devices on a TCP/IP network. Networks

Using TCP/IP protocol route messages based on the IP address of the destinations. Within a closed

network. IP addresses can be assigned at random as long as each one is unique. However,

connecting a private network to the Internet requires using registered IP address to avoi

d

duplicates.

IP address can be acquired from a network administrator or an Internet service provider.

• MAC (Ethernet) Address (Media Access Control Address)

MAC address is a hardware identification code that uniquely identifies each node of a network.

The MAC layer interfaces directly with the network media. Consequently, each type of netwo

media requires a different MAC layer. The MAC address of Network IP Camera is a 12-digit

number. A

Important

• Must use the newly assigned IP address, do NOT use occupied IP address, and not use the

default or example IP address .

• It is highly recommended to assign IP address before you place Network IP Camera on remote

place or remote network. Otherwise, some errors may occur while assigning IP address

NETWORK IP CAMERA User’s Guide

13

-NOTE-

IP addresses with any connection

If the camera system is connected to the Internet, IP addressing is a potential

p

roblem. There are two types of IP address, static and dynamic. Internet access

through an ISP (I

nternet Service Provider) usually means a dynamic IP address, and

a static IP address is much more desirable for a camera system. With a static IP

address the camera system can be located and viewed by any browser by typing the

IP address as the location to open. But dynamic IP addresses chance, so the users

will have difficulty finding the camera. When connecting to a company network, a

dynamic address can be avoided easily. When connecting via an ISP, static IP

addresses carry additional charges, if they are available at all. Alternative schemes to

'redirect' user to the camera each time the IP address changes are possible, so this

area is likely to become easier in the future.

NETWORK IP CAMERA User’s Guide

4.2 Assigning IP address by using IP installer.

4.2.1 Connecting Network IP Camera to PC

At first, you need to install an IP installation program (IP Installer.exe) on your PC that is

connected on the same local network as Network IP Camera.

1) Connecting with direct cable (Non Crossover UTP cable)

In this case, you have to use a HUB to connect Network IP Camera and a PC to assign IP address or

you should have an Ethernet Cable to connect the Network IP Camera, and a PC that is already

connected with Ethernet Cable.

2) Connecting with Crossover UTP Cable

Use the crossover to directly connect Network IP Camera to a PC. This connection is to be used to

configure Network IP Camera.

*It is highly recommended that you assign IP address to Network IP Camera with crossover

cable.

Here, inet on ethernet (e), host inet (h) and gateway inet (g) values are network configuration values.

You should change these values in most case. If you don’t know what value you should assign, refer to

the network administrator.

Inet on ethernet (e) is IP address and subnet mask address of Network IP Camera. IP address and

subnet mask addresses are separated by colon (:). For example, IP address is represented by decimal

numbers delimited by dot (.) like ‘192.168.1.27’. Hexadecimal numbers like ‘ffffff00’ in the case of

‘255.255.255.0’ represents subnet mask address. Note that the numbers of subnet mask value are not

delimited by dot. See the example in the above picture.

20

Host inet (h) is the address to which Network IP Camera tries to connect to upgrade its firmware

program in flash memory. Network IP Camera first search this host on the network on booting

sequence. For more information on Network IP Camera upgrade, refer to “E. Updating Network IP

Camera’s Newly upgraded Program”.
