M16 Camera Manual: Operating The Camera

3.2 FirstImagesandtheMostImportantSettings

Once the MOBOTIX camera has been connected to the network, you need to set up the cam-

era’snetworkinterfaceaccordingly.Thisstepinvolvessettingupandcheckingthenetwork

parameters of the camera. If your network is already using an IP address in the 10.x.x.x

range with a 255.0.0.0

networkmask,youdonotneedtochangethecamera’snetwork

parameters. You can access the camera directly (see Section 3.2.2). If your network or computer

does not use an IP address in the 10.x.x.x range (for example, in the 192 or 172 ranges), you

shouldfollowoneofthefollowingmethodsforchangingthecamera’snetworkparameters:

• Manual setup (see Section 3.2.1)

• Automatic setup using MxManagementCenter (see Section 3.2.3)

Note

For the following examples, we will use a camera with the factory address 10.16.0.99.

ReplacethisIPaddresswiththeIPaddressofyourcamera.YouwillndtheIPaddress

of your camera on a small sticker on the camera. Make sure that the IP addresses used

in the following examples are not already being used by other devices in the network.

Hint:

Brieypressingthekey will prompt the camera to announce its current IP address

on the camera speaker.

3.2.1 ManuallySettingUptheNetworkParametersinaBrowser

You need a computer that is using a 10.x.x.x IP address in order to manually set up the

networkparametersoftheMOBOTIXcamera.Thecomputer’snetworkparametersusually

have to be changed for this purpose.

1. Change the network parameters of your computer:

Windows 7:

1. Open Start > Settings > Control Panel > Network

Connections. Clicking Properties opens the dialog box

shown.

2. Double-click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). On the

General tab, activate the Use the following IP address

option. Enter an IP address in the 10.x.x.x range in this

eld(forexample,10. 16.0.11).

3. Once all dialog boxes have been closed, the computer

will have the IP address 10.16.0.11.

Entry in "Subnet mask"
