4.3.1 IP & Ethernet
On the IP & Ethernet screen you can configure the network settings and view the MAC address of the
camera.
 Camera Name: Enter a descriptive name of the camera.
 DHCP: If there is a DHCP server on the network and you enable this option, the server will
automatically assign an IP address and related information to the camera.
If there is no DHCP server on your network or you prefer to manually assign an IP address to
your camera, then leave this checkbox blank.
Notes
1. After ticking the DHCP checkbox, a pop-up will appear asking for confirmation. Click OK. Be
sure to click the Save button on the web page to enable the DHCP function.
2. Once DHCP is successfully enabled, the camera will use an IP address assigned by the
DHCP server. You will need to know the newly obtained IP address in order to access the
camera's web page. To see the IP address information, use the illustra Connect tool and use
the MAC address to identify the camera and find its IP address information.
3. If your PC loses connection to the camera after you change the IP address settings, it's
suggested that you restore Hardware Factory Defaults by using the Default button on the
camera. Then use the default IP address to re-establish the connection.
 IP Address & Subnet Mask: If DHCP function is not enabled, you have to assign an IP address
with the subnet mask to the camera.
 Default Gateway: Enter the IP address of the gateway if required. Please contact your network
administrator whether you need to set up the gateway.
 DNS: Enter the IP address of a DNS server.
