Ethernet Environment

Hardware installation

Before installing Network Camera, the administrator should memorize the serial numbers
on the packages respectively for the initial passwords.
To use a dial-up network, the Ethernet socket should be left disconnected since Ethernet is
the first priority among available interfaces. After powering up, Network Camera will detect
if any external modem is connected to the modem port. Once a modem is detected, the
heartbeat LED will flash periodically. If no modem responds, Network Camera will assume
the included null modem cable is connected to perform system configuration. Then both
lower LEDs will turn on until null modem connection is established.
If users have setup a remote dialup server or subscribed to an ISP service, Network
Camera can be configured to dial to the server upon special events. Otherwise it will wait
permanently for the user's call to establish a network connection to provide services.
In the following content, dial-in connection denotes a passive Network Camera waiting for
a phone call to establish a point-to-point connection. Dial-out connection denotes an active
Network Camera to dial out to the other end of a dial-up server or any Internet service
provider, abbreviated as ISP, to request a point-to-point connection.
