3.1.2 Activating the Ethernet Operating Mode (NET)
To activate the Ethernet operating mode, open the Admin Menu> Manage Hard-
ware Expansions dialog in the camera's browser interface. Note that you need to
enter the IP address of the ExtIO to establish a connection.
Click on the Connect button in front of ExtIO (Ethernet Connection) to establish a
connection between the camera and the ExtIO. Once the green LED is on perma-
nently, the ExtIO has successfully connected to the camera. The remaining configu-
ration can now be performed in the camera software.
Note that the ExtIO has to be reachable on the network. For information on setting
up the ExtIO with a suitable network configuration (IP address, network mask, gate-
way and DHCP), please see section 3.1.3.
Note that you can activate the Ethernet operating mode even though you have not
connected the ExtIO yet. As soon as the camera can reach the ExtIO on the network
via its IP address, the camera will automatically establish the connection. There is
no further configuration required.

MOBOTIX ExtIO User Manual
Activating the Ethernet
operating mode of the
ExtIO
Note
Note that you can activate the Ethernet operating mode even
though you have not connected the ExtIO yet. In this case, the
camera software will automatically connect to the ExtIO once it
can be reached on the network. This approach allows preconfigur-
ing the camera for an ExtIO connection before mounting it.
Note that you can use an ExtIO configured for Ethernet operation
with a USB connection without any problems later on. All settings
in the camera software remain unchanged even if you change the
operating mode at a later point in time.
