5.2 Conﬁgure your Video Server Network Settings

Upon connecting with the network hardware, you need to activate the network function and conﬁgure the proper

network settings of the Video Server.

5.2.1 Enable DHCP Function

The user can use the USB function (refer to section 3.4) or the Internet Explorer (refer to section 6.1.3) to enable the

DHCP function.

This function can only work if the LAN, which the unit is connected to, has a DHCP server. If the DHCP server is

working, the Video Server will obtain an IP address automatically from the DHCP server. In that case, please skip

section 5.2.2 (Set IP address) and follow section 5.3 (TCP/IP Communication Software).

5.2.2 Set IP Address

You need to set an IP address for the unit if the LAN unit isn’t connected to a DHCP server.

Otherwise, please follow the instructions given below:

Set the

IP, MASK and GATEWAY. The following is a sample setting.

IP: 192.168.1.X

MASK: 255.255.255.0

GATEWAY: 0.0.0.0

NOTE: When only one unit of the Video Server is connected to a computer or LAN, you can freely assign

an IP address for the Video Server. For example, there is a range of Video Server IP addresses from

192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.255. You can pick one for use from the range of the IP. It’s not necessary

to set MASK and GATEWAY; leave the settings as default.
