Starting The Camera With An Automatic Ip Address (Dhcp) - Mobotix D15 Manual

3.2.5 Starting the Camera with an Automatic IP Address (DHCP)

If a DHCP server is active on the network, you can also boot the camera with the DHCP
client (factory default), without having to reset the entire configuration to the factory default
settings. The camera will then automatically get an IP address from the DHCP server and
will announce the new network parameters. Note that this is only possible if the speaker
has been activated for this camera.
1. If the camera is powered on, disconnect the power supply by unplugging the cor-
responding cables and then reconnect the power supply.
2. After about ten seconds, the LEDs will light up and then flash for about four seconds
(first flashing), light up continuously and then start flashing again for about four
seconds (second flashing).
3. After the second flashing, press
and hold the magnetic side of the
custom tool over the spot above
the microphone labeled L in the
figure (if you need to try again, go
back to Step 1).
4. If the speaker has been activated,
the camera emits a double sound
("boing boing") after about 30 to
45 seconds.
The camera has finished booting and can now be used (e.g., MxManagementCenter,
MOBOTIX App, web browser).
Starting the camera with an automatic IP address (DHCP) is only temporary. The
network configuration of the camera can be permanently set to DHCP (factory set-
ting) under Admin Menu > Ethernet Interface.
Make sure that the network has a functioning DHCP server when starting the camera
with DHCP support. If this is not the case, the camera cannot obtain a valid IP address
and will use its last IP address.
You should also make sure that the cameras always obtain the same IP addresses by
permanently assigning the MAC addresses of the cameras to the desired IP addresses.
