will get a differently colored icon than the cameras that are on the same subnet. Likewise,
the cameras that have an unknown password or for which no user name/password
combination has been specified in MxEasy will be displayed in a different color.
If all the desired MOBOTIX cameras are highlighted as Accessible in the video source
list, you can proceed to the Selecting Cameras section below. Cameras with the status
Invalid Network can be reconfigured for the "proper" subnet, as described in the follow-
ing section.
Conguring MOBOTIX Cameras For A Different Network
Using Bonjour, MxEasy finds not only cameras on the same network as your computer, but
also MOBOTIX cameras located in other subnets (Status Invalid Network). In such a case, you
would not be able to establish any connection to cameras in a different network or subnet
(without going into much further
detail about the specific details of
TCP/IP network configurations). This
is possible, 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. MxEasy can auto-
matically configure such a camera
so that it is "integrated" into your
existing network. To do so, sim-
ply highlight the desired camera
in the list.
Clicking Next displays a security
prompt; if you click OK, the dialog for
reconfiguring the selected camera
will appear.
If your computer automatically obtains
its IP address from a DHCP server,
then this is certainly the best choice
for that specific camera and most
likely for all other cameras that have
been found in a different subnet (Get
IP address automatically option). If
you have assigned a fixed IP address
to your computer, you will probably
want to assign fixed IP addresses
(issued by your system administrator)
to every camera (Use this IP address option). Here, for the most part, you should enter a
similar configuration as in the network settings of your computer.
