Introduction 1 Introduction Thank you for deciding to buy this IP-Module. We wish you every success in using this product. If you have any questions about the product, please contact your local SIEMENS branch office. This IP-Module allows you to display live video images from a dome camera on your PC via an internet connection. The live video images are transmitted via a TCP/IP based network and displayed using an http browser (e.g. Netscape 7.0, Mozilla or Internet Explorer).
General Safety Precautions 2 General Safety Precautions Read these instructions carefully before connecting the camera and the IPModule in order to avoid damage caused by improper installation or use. Installation may be done only by authorized personnel according to the local safety regulations. Operate the camera and the IP-Module only with the designated voltage. Follow the safety instructions for the camera and for the IP-Module.

Installing the IP-Module 6 Installing the IP-Module 6.1 Installing IP-Module type CFVA-IP Fig. 1 Exploded view of IP-Module CFVA-IP IP-Module fixing 1. Use the drilling template to drill two holes in the ceiling/wall and insert the wall plugs. 2. Mount the IP-Module to the ceiling/wall. 3. Connect the BNC cable (12) to the connector socket (4) in the IP-Module. Installation and connection of the dome camera 4. Connect the video output from the dome camera to the BNC cable video input (11). 5.
Installing the IP-Module 7. Place the camera body on the IP-Module and screw both units together using the two screws supplied. 8. Connect the LAN cable to the RJ45 socket (7). 9. Connect the (12 V DC / 24 V AC) electrical supply (8). WARNING Ensure correct polarity if using a 12 V DC supply, as incorrect connection may damage the dome camera or cause the unit to operate abnormally. 10.Establish communication with the device for the first time.
Installing the IP-Module IP-Module fixing The IP-Module features two apertures through which you can feed the cables: An aperture in the base An aperture in the side If you wish to use the side aperture: – Loosen the fixing screw (9) inside the IP-Module. – Remove the blanking screw from the side cable aperture and screw this into the cable aperture in the base of the unit. 1. Use the drilling template to drill two holes in the ceiling/wall and insert the wall plugs. 2.
Establishing initial communication with the device 7 Establishing initial communication with the device The factory settings for the IP address and subnet mask are 192.168.100.100 and 0.0.0.0 respectively. Communication between the device and the client PC is only possible if both the client PC and the device are located in the same network segment. There are two possible methods of achieving this: Changing the IP address of the client PC. See section 7.1: Changing the IP address of the client PC.
Establishing initial communication with the device The client PC IP address is now displayed. In this example, we have assumed IP address 10.11.12.13. 3. Type route add 192.168.100.0 mask 255.255.255.0 10.11.12.13 and press the Enter key. The ensuing network route ensures device accessibility. Note that you should enter your own client PC IP address instead of 10.11.12.13. 4. Check that there is communication with the device by typing ping 192.168.100.100. 5.
Checking device accessibility 8 Checking device accessibility Your device is accessed in the network via its IP address. The IP address is either preset at the factory (IP address 192.168.100.100) or set by you when allocating a new IP address to your device. See section 10.1: Changing the device IP address. 1. Type the following command in the your client PC's command prompt screen: 2. ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx = 192.168.100.100 if the IP address set by the factory is used xxx.xxx.xxx.
Device homepage 9 Device homepage 9.1 Calling up the device homepage There are two ways of calling up the device homepage: Using Internet Explorer Using the Web-Cam IP Manager 9.1.1 Calling up the device homepage using Microsoft Internet Explorer 1.

If the device is only to be accessed by other devices in the same network segment, enter 0.0.0.0 here. Displays the network card ID. Choose the speed from the list. Automatic is the preferred setting.
Configuring network settings Like the IP address, the subnet mask also consists of four numbers in the range 0 – 255, all separated from each other by decimal points. The subnet mask tells the device which other IP addresses in the connected network (subnet) can be dialed directly and which addresses have to be dialed through the gateway.
Configuring network settings Each device's IP address or MAC address is unique. 3. Select the device whose IP address you want to change. 4. Click on the Set IP Address button.

Establishing access to the device via internet 16 Establishing access to the device via internet If it is necessary to be able to access your device via Internet, you must ensure that your IP address is internet-enabled. An Internet Service Provider (ISP) can supply you with an internet-enabled IP address. The ISP will offer you static or dynamic IP addresses. Connecting to internet Fig. 8 Connecting to internet Static IP address The ISP will supply you with an IP address once only.
Establishing access to the device via internet connection is interrupted, the newly allocated IP address must be assigned to your domain name, e.g. , so that your device can still be accessed using your domain name. Example of access using a dynamic IP address Requirements: Your device is part of a local network (LAN) and is connected to internet by a ROUTER, e.g. a TDSL router. An ISP (Internet Service Provider) has already allocated you an IP address.
Embedding live video images in a dedicated HTML page 17 Embedding live video images in a dedicated HTML page Embedding live video images Live video images cannot be embedded using Microsoft Internet Explorer! The live video images delivered by the device can be embedded in dedicated HTML pages using the following HTML tag, e. g.: 
PAGE 36
Service mode 18 Service mode The service mode allows the device IP address to be reset even if the IP address that is currently allocated to the device is not known. If, for example, the Automatic Network Configuration (DHCP) option is activated when communication with the device is first established, the device will automatically be allocated an IP address by the DHCP server following each restart. This address is not known prior to the event and can change each time a restart takes place.
