Appendix D Setting Up Network Communications - Microscan Visionscape HE1600T Manual

D
APPENDIX D
By default, the Visionscape
Configuration Protocol (RFC2131) for dynamic IP addressing. You can also
configure the camera to use a "static" IP address. Please contact your MIS
department to determine if your network uses DHCP addressing. If your network
uses static IP addressing, contact your MIS department to obtain a unique static
IP address for the camera before proceeding.
Note: Important: Although the use of DHCP is convenient when initially setting
up the camera, it should not be used when deployed. In a production
environment, all networked components should use static IP addresses to prevent
communication issues related to DHCP renewals.
You can change network parameters using the Visionscape
(Start > Visionscape > Tools > Visionscape Network Browser) once the
camera is connected via Ethernet (on a subnet or using a crosslink cable).
Select a camera in the Network view and click Change Network Settings.
1.
You will need to take control of the camera before proceeding to the
Network Settings dialog; the default username is "hawkeye" and the default
password is "vision".
This is the standard and most straight forward method of setting the network
parameters on the camera as it does not require a serial connection.
