Hawking Technology HNC700PT - Manual (Page 11)

Check Network Settings (even if the device is already connected)
Although the network camera may already be connected following the software installation procedure, administrators
should ensure that the network settings in the configuration page are correct, including the subnet mask, IP address of the
gateway, and DNS. If necessary, ask the network administrator or Internet service provider for specific information
regarding the network settings. By default, the network camera will require installation every time it reboots. If the
network settings are certain to work all the time, you can disable the install option. Refer to the “Network Settings”
section of this manual or the “Network” page of the web interface for details. If any of the settings are entered incorrectly
and the network camera is non-responsive or freezes as a result, you can easily restore the factory settings by following
the steps outlined in the “Troubleshooting” section of this manual.
Add a Password for Security
Since the administrator’s password is blank by default, the network camera will not ask for a password. However, it is
recommended that the administrator change the password to protect from network intruders. Once the administrator’s
password is saved, the network camera will require a user name and password for access. The administrator can establish,
at most, twenty user accounts. This enables each user to access the network camera. However, the user will still be
restricted from making changes to the system configuration. Critical functions, whose access is limited to administrators
only, include system configuration, user administration, and software upgrades. The administrator’s user name is
assigned to “root” permanently. Once the password is changed, the browser will display an authentication window to ask
for the new password.
Please Note: There is no way to access the administrator’s password. Therefore, if the password is forgotten, the only
solution is to restore the factory default settings.
