1.4 Connecting NetCam to a Network
The StarDot Tools software can be used find NetCam’s IP address or
to configure NetCam with a Setup Wizard.
 Install the StarDot Tools software by inserting the CD-ROM and
running setup.exe (it should run automatically).
 If your network has a router or server that auto assigns IP addresses
(DHCP), StarDot Tools will find NetCam’s IP address and display
it in the software. To access NetCam, simply double-click its IP
address. Turn to Chapter 3 for assistance on configuring NetCam.
 If your network does not auto-assign IP addresses, you’ll need to
configure NetCam via the included serial cable. Connect one end of
the null model serial cable to the S1 port of NetCam and the other
end into an available serial port on your PC.
 Connect NetCam into a network router, hub or switch with a standard
CAT 5 network cable or with the included Combo Ethernet/Power
Cable (see illustration).
 In StarDot Tools, click the Setup Wizard button.
‘ Follow the steps in the Setup Wizard. If you’re unsure of some of
the answers or you’d like more information on connecting NetCam
to the Internet or your private network, read the next section,
