User manual

You will find the IP address of your Windows computer under IP address; for Linux/
UNIX/OS X computers, search for the inet address parameter of the eth0 device
(the first network interface). If your computer does not use an IP address in the
10.x.x.x range, you should change the network configuration of your computer or
add a new IP address (see below).
Make sure that no other network device uses the camera's IP address:
• Open a command shell (Windows) or a terminal (Linux/UNIX/OSX) and enter
the following command:
ping <factory IP address>
If you receive an answer from another network device although the camera is not
connected, you will have to remove that device until you have reset the MOBOTIX
camera to a free IP address. We recommend using the Quick Installation wizard for
this task.
If your computer does not use an IP address in the 10.0.0.0 network (e.g. a
192.168.x.x or 172.x.x.x network), you should temporarily set a new IP address
in the 10.x.x.x range:
Windows 2000/XP
(1) Open the Network Con-
nections and open the
Properties of LAN Con-
nection.
(2) Double-click Internet Pro-
tocol (TCP/IP).
(3) On the General tab, activa-
te the Use the following
address option.
(4) Enter an IP address (e.g.
10.1.0.11) in the class A
network (10.x.x.x) that is
unique in your network and
that is not the same as the
camera's IP address.
(5) Close all dialogs by clicking
on OK.
Linux/UNIX/OSX
(1) Open a terminal as root user and enter the following command (eth0
usually is the first network interface):
ifconfig eth0:1 10.1.0.11
The computer now has the additional IP address 10.1.0.11, allowing it to
access the camera with its factory IP address in the 10.x.x.x network (10.1.0.99
in this example).
