Preparation
The Preparation section explains what the administrator
has to prepare for monitoring the images after
installation and connection of the camera.
Assigning the IP
Address to the Camera
To connect the camera to a network, you need to assign
a new IP address to the camera when installing the
camera for the first time.
You can assign an IP address in two ways:
• Using the setup program stored in the supplied CD-
ROM (see page 9)
• Using the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)
commands (see page 75)
This section explains how to assign an IP address to the
camera using the supplied setup program and how to
configure the network.
Before starting, connect the camera to a local network,
referring to “Connecting the Camera to a Local
Network” in the supplied Installation Manual.
Consult the administrator of the network about the
assigned IP address.
