Manual way with existing programs
For those environments such as MAC, Linux, Unix or other operating systems, whose installer is not yet
available, some common network tools including ARP and PING can be used to install Network Camera.
Make sure ARP and PING programs exist in your operating system.
First, type arp –s “assigned IP address” “Ethernet address” to add an entity in the system’s name table.
The Ethernet address is identical to the serial number of Network Camera and should be typed in the
appropriate format like “uu-vv-ww-xx-yy-zz” or “uu:vv:ww:xx:yy:zz”, which depends on the operating
system.
Once a name entity is added, type ping "assigned IP address” to invite the new Network Camera. If it
replies, that means Network Camera has accepted the assigned IP address and is ready for access. The
first several ping requests may fail during the self-configuration period of Network Camera. Since the
accurate grammar of ARP and PING depends on the operating system, refer to its related help manual.
