Operating instructions

1. Check the IP class of your PC

In most case Microsoft Windows XP

will assign an IP address, 169.254.*.*, automatically with a subnet mask,

255.255.0.0, if the DHCP server is absent, while the default IP address of a Video Server is 192.168.1.168 with a

subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. There won’t be any communication due to different IP class domains, and you have to

modify the relative settings or the UPnP protocol won’t work; however, checking your own IP address is necessary.

Here are the procedures to check and modify them.

Step 1: From the Start menu, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.

Step 2: When Control Panel appears, double-click the Network Connections icon.

The Network Connections dialog box appears.
