Using the PlugLink 9850 IP Camera Utility
The PlugLink 9850 IP Camera Utility allows your network administrator or security
personnel to manage and monitor one or multiple PlugLink 9850 IP Cameras in your
network through a single user interface. The utility can be used internally within your
own network or externally from the Internet. For external remote monitoring, install the
utility on any remote machine that you plan to use for remote monitoring.
Note: The utility is automatically installed along with the drivers for the PlugLink 9850 IP
Camera. If you are using the utility internally, please be sure that the computer you
are running the utility from is on the same power line network as the IP Cameras. It
must also have the same IP subnet and Network Encryption Key (NEK).
There are two ways to open the PlugLink 9850 IP Camera Utility:
1. Double-click the icon on your desktop (the icon acts as a shortcut.)
2. Click on Start Æ Programs.
a. Locate and select the PlugLink 9850 Utility Folder.
