ASSIGNING IP ADDRESS & ACCESSING NETWORK
VIDEO SERVER’S HOMEPAGE
Access via IP Addresses
To access the NETWORK VIDEO SERVER, you need to assign an appropriate network IP address.
• Network IP Address :
A network IP address is an identification code for computers or 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, public IP address to avoid
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 device of a network.
The MAC layer interfaces directly with the network media. Consequently, each type of network
media requires a different MAC layer. The MAC address of NETWORK VIDEO SERVER is a 12-
digit number. A unique MAC address can be found on the label at the bottom of each Network IP
Camera.
NOTE
Please run the IP address installation program (IP Installer.exe) on a PC that is connected to the
same local network as the NETWORK VIDEO SERVER.
Important
