SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP
1. Insert the CD mini disk provided with your camera into your computer’s CD ROM drive and open the CD in a Windows
Explorer window.
2. Find the IPAdminTool directory on the CD.
3. Copy the IPAdminTool directory with its contents to your computer hard drive.
2.6 Congure the camera network settings
Devices attached to a Local Area Network (LAN) are each assigned a unique address (IP address) that they use when sending
messages with each other. No two devices on a single Ethernet network can have the same IP address. Otherwise, addressing
conicts will occur.
When your IP camera is attached to a network and initially powered on, it attempts acquire compatible network settings from
a DHCP server. If it cannot nd a DHCP server, it congures itself with the following static IP address, subnet mask, and gateway
setting, which may or may not be compatible with other devices on the network.
IP address: 192.168.0.100
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.1
Whether it acquires a dynamic (changeable) IP address and other network settings from a DHCP server, or uses the default static
(xed, unchanging) settings, your camera must be congured with static network settings that are compatible with the network
conguration. Additionally, if DHCP is not used on your network, DIGIOP Black cameras must be installed on the network and
congured with new network settings one at a time to avoid addressing conicts.
Use the following procedure to setup and apply compatible, static, network settings for your camera. If connecting your camera to a
large enterprise network, consult with your network administrator for network settings before attaching the camera to the LAN to
ensure that your camera won’t conict with other devices. Your network administrator should also setup WAN (Internet) access to
the camera, if that is needed.
If you encounter a problem and need to contact Technical Support, rst complete the chart in Table 1 about your computer (PC) and
camera network settings, if possible. Support will need this information to provide assistance.
2.6.1 Conguring cameras on networks with DHCP
In networks with a DHCP server, the IP camera will acquire dynamic (changeable) network settings when it is initially powered on.
These dynamic settings can easily be converted to static settings, or changed to other static settings that are also compatible with
your network.
