"Get IP address automatically" & "Use fixed IP address"
The default status is "Get IP address automatically". This can be tedious having to perform
software installation whenever the Network Camera starts. Therefore, once the network settings,
especially the IP address, have been entered correctly, select "Use fixed IP address" then the
Network Camera will skip installation at the next boot. The Network Camera can automatically
restart and operate normally after a power outage. Users can run Installation Wizard to check the
IP address assigned to the Network Camera if the IP address is forgotten or using the UPnP
function provided by the Network Camera (MS Windows XP provides UPnP function at My
Network Place). As for how to get IP address automatically, please refer to the section of
Software Installation.
General
"IP address" This is necessary for network identification.
"Subnet mask" It is used to determine if the destination is in the same subnet. The default value
is "255.255.255.0".
"Default router" This is the gateway used to forward frames to destinations in different subnet.
Invalid router setting will fail the transmission to destinations in different subnet.
"Primary DNS" The primary domain name server that translates hostnames into IP addresses.
"Secondary DNS" The secondary domain name server that backups the Primary DNS.
HTTP
"HTTP port" This can be other than the default Port 80. Once the port is changed, the User must
be notified the change for the connection to be successful. For instance, when the Administrator
changes the HTTP port of the Network Camera whose IP address is 192.168.0.100 from 80 to
8080, the User must type in the web browser "http://192.168.0.100:8080" instead of
"http://192.168.0.100".
Streaming
"UDP Audio channel port" This can be something other than the default port 5002 in order to
work with the port opened by the firewall.
