Chapter 12 Network Settings
12.1 TCP/IP
TCP/IP settings must be properly configured before you operate the device over network. IPv4 and IPv6 are
both supported. Both versions can be configured simultaneously without conflicting with each other.
Go to Configuration Basic Configuration Network TCP/IP for parameter settings.
NIC Type: Select a NIC (Network Interface Card) type according to your network condition.
IPv4: Two IPv4 modes are available.
- DHCP: The device automatically gets the IPv4 parameters from the network if you check DHCP. The
device IP address is changed after enabling the function. You can use SADP to get the device IP
address.
The network that the device is connected to should support DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol).
- Manual: You can set the device IPv4 parameters manually. Input IPv4 Address, IPv4 Subnet Mask and
IPv4 Default Gateway, and click Test to see if the IP address is available.
IPv6: Three IPv6 modes are available.
- Route Advertisement: The IPv6 address is generated by combining the route advertisement and the
device Mac address.
Route advertisement mode requires support from the router that the device connects to.
- DHCP: The IPv6 address is assigned by the server, router, or gateway.
- Manual: Input IPv6 Address, IPv6 Subnet, IPv6 Default Gateway. Consult the network administrator
for required information.
MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit): The size of the largest protocol data unit that can be communicated
in a single network layer transaction.
The valid value range of MTU is 1280 to 1500.
DNS (Domain Name Server): Required if you need to visit the device with a domain name. It is also
required for some applications (e.g., sending e-mail). Set Preferred DNS Server and Alternate DNS server
properly if needed.
12.1.1 Multicast Discovery
Check the Enable Multicast Discovery, and then the online network camera can be automatically detected
by client software via private multicast protocol in the LAN.
