Installation and Operation Guide APPENDIX 1. –IP camera UPnP How To ® The most troublesome issue when you setup a LANCam is that you have no idea what the IP ® address of this device is. Now LANCam supports the UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) protocol ® which makes it easier for you to examine it; however, Microsoft Windows XP doesn’t start this service by default. Therefore, the following procedures will help you to turn it on and discover ® your LANCam step by step as shown in Figure1 below.
Figure 2 Step 2: When Control Panel appears, double-click the Network Connections icon. The Network Connections dialog box appears. See Figure 3. Figure 3 Step 3: Click the Protocols tab in the Network Connections dialog box. See Figure 4. Figure 4 Step 4: When the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box shows up, choose Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties. See Figure 5.
Installation and Operation Guide Figure 5 Step 5: In the Internet Protocol(TCP/IP) Properties dialog box, choose Use the following IP Address to indicate that you do not wish to use DHCP, and assign IP Address 192.168.1.200 with Subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Click OK when you finish it. See Figure 6. Figure 6 Step 6: Choose Close to finish the modification. See Figure 7.
2. Install UPnP Packets ® As described before, Microsoft Windows XP doesn’t start the UPnP service by default; however, we have to install some packets before we initialize it. The following steps will help you to install them. Step1: From the Start menu, point to Set Program Access and Default, and then click it. See Figure 8 Figure 8 Step 2: When the Add or Remove Programs dialog box appears, click the Add/Remove Windows Components button. See Figure 9.
Installation and Operation Guide Figure 10 Step 4: Check UPnP User Interface, and choose OK. See Figure 11. Figure 11 Step 5: When the original Network Component Wizard dialog box returns, click Next. See Figure12.
Step 6: After about one minute the UPnP installation will be done, and choose Finish to close it. See Figure13. Figure 13 3.
