Terminology
IP Address
IP address is an identification code for computers and devices on a TCP/IP network. Networks
using TCP/IP protocol route messages based on the IP address of the destination. Within a
closed network, IP addresses can be assigned at ra
ndom as long as each one is unique. However,
connecting a private network to the Internet requires using registered IP addresses to avoid
duplicates. IP address can be acquired from a network administrator or an I
nternet service
provider.
MAC Address (Media Access Control Address)
MAC address is a hardware identification code that uniquely identifies each node of a network.
The MAC layer interfaces directly with the network media. Consequently, each type of network
media requires a different MAC layer. The MAC address of WebEye is a 12-digit number.
A
unique MAC address can be found on the label at the bottom of each WebEye.
Crossover Cable
The crossover cable (red) provided with the WebEye is used to connect the WebEye with a PC
.
A HUB is not necessary to connect the WebEye to a PC if a crossover cable is used.
Direct Cable
The direct cable (white) should be used if a HUB is used as an intermediary between the
WebEye and PC.
Important
To access WebEye, you firstly
have to assign an appropriate IP
address. When you assign an IP address to WebEye, make sure to
use unoccupied IP address, and not to use the default or example
IP address.
