Configuring MOBOTIX Cameras for a Different Network
Using Bonjour, MxControlCenter finds not only cameras on the same subnet (net-
work range) but also MOBOTIX cameras located in other subnets (status:
Differ-
ent subnet
). You will not be able to establish any connection to cameras in a differ-
ent network or subnet (without going into much further detail about the compli-
cated details of TCP/IP network configurations). This can happen, for example,
when a camera with a factory IP address is connected to a network in which a
DHCP server automatically assigns the IP addresses.
Click on
Configure network in the context menu and MxControlCenter will auto-
matically reconfigure this camera so that it is "integrated" into your existing sub-
net. However, MxControlCenter first needs some information about the subnet into
which the camera will be integrated. You can make these changes in the Config-
ure Cameras dialog that is opening automatically.
If your computer gets its IP address automatically from a DHCP server, then this is
certainly the best choice for the new camera and most likely for all other cameras
which have been found in a different subnet (Apply to all inaccessible cameras
checkbox).
If you have assigned a fixed IP
address to your computer, you
will certainly prefer to assign
fixed IP addresses (issued by
your system administrator) to
every camera. In most cases,
you should enter a similar con-
figuration as the one found for
your computer's Network Con-
nections in the Properties of
Internet protocol (TCP/IP) dialog.
