First Access To Networkam - Vivotek IP3111/IP3121 User Manual

First access to NetworKam

When connecting to NetworKam for the first time, administrators should check security and network
settings on the configuration page. For complete protection from illegal usage, NetworKam provides two
privileges and always needs user name and password before access. The standard level is the USER mode
that consists of twenty user profiles. Each user is able to access NetworKam except for system
configuration. The twenty user profiles are also maintained by the administrator. The highest level is
ROOT mode that only opens to administrators for initial setup, system configuration, user administration
and software upgrade. The user name of the administrator is internally assigned to "root".
When connecting to NetworKam, users will be requested for user name and password by an
authentication message window. A root password, identical to the NetworKam's serial number, is needed
for the initial access to a newly installed NetworKam. The administrator must change the root password
immediately after the initial installation to ensure security. The new root password should be well
memorized since there is no way to retrieve or recover it. After changing the password, the browser will
display an authentication window again to ask for the new password.
The other important part is network settings. The software configuration above makes NetworKam easily
accessed through local networks. However administrators should review the network settings on the
configuration page according to the existing service. The safe and easy way is to compare the network
settings with another PC or workstation in the same network.
The software installation in the previous section only set the host IP address and default subnet mask as
255.255.255.0. Administrators should change the subnet mask if it differs from the one provided by server.
Administrators should also fill in the default gateway, primary and secondary domain name servers if
necessary.
By default NetworKam will need administrator's installation every time it reboots. If the network settings
are sure to work all the time, disable the install option if this IP address is already reserved for this
NetworKam. Clearing this option will skip the installation procedure during the next power-up and use
