SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP
In networks without a DHCP server, encoders must be powered on and recongured one at a time to avoid addressing conicts
between other encoders, or possibly with another device on the network. Conguring the network settings of your encoders
includes these steps:
— Determine the network settings of your computer.
— Check the network for compatibility with the default static network settings of your encoder.
— Find network settings (IP addresses) that are not in use and can be assigned to your encoder.
— Attach your encoder to the network, power it on, and conguring it with new network settings.
Determine the network settings of your computer
1. At a PC attached to the same LAN that will be shared with your encoder, determine the IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway of your PC and record it in Table 1. To nd this information, do the following at the Windows desktop:
a. Hold down the Windows key and press r to open the Run dialog box.
b. Type cmd in the entry eld, then click OK to open the DOS command window.
c. At the command prompt, enter ipcong. The response will show the your PC’s network settings.
Example: Typical use of ipcon g in Windows XP
d. Enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway for your PC’s Ethernet adapter into Table 1.
NOTE
The Ethernet adapter data you see by using ipcong will probably be dierent from that shown in the example
above. If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7, the IP address is identied as the “IPv4 Address.”
