SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP
2.5 Install IPAdmin Tool
The IPAdmin Tool, included on the CD mini disk, is a utility that will discover cameras installed on your network and enable you
to perform the initial network setup for each camera. After a camera is setup on the network, the Microsoft Internet Explorer
®
web browser can be used to see video from the camera, set the camera’s password, date and time, nalize camera hardware
adjustments, and congure the camera for functional requirements.
The IPAdminTool can be loaded on a Microsoft Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7 operating system (32- or 64-bit). To use this utility
for the initial setup of your camera, your computer must be connected to the same network subnet as your camera.
At a computer on the same LAN (subnet) where your cameras will be installed, do the following:
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 Congure 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
conicts 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 congures 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 congured with static network settings that are compatible with the network
conguration. Additionally, if DHCP is not used on your network, DIGIOP Black cameras must be installed on the network and
congured with new network settings one at a time to avoid addressing conicts.
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
