Using Dna To Access The Camera - FLIR Quasar Gen III User And Installation Manual

6 Using DNA to Access the Camera

To view and configure the camera via a LAN, you must attach the camera via the network switch or router
to the same subnet (network segment or VLAN) as the computer that manages the unit. If the PC is on a
different subnet than the camera, you will not be able to access the camera via a web browser.
If there is a DHCP server on the network, it is recommended to use FLIR's Discovery Network Assistant
(DNA) utility to search for and change the camera's initial IP address.
DNA is a user-friendly utility that is designed to easily discover and configure FLIR Professional Security
edge devices on a network. The DNA tool has a simple user interface and does not require any installation.
The software is provided as a single, standalone executable. It runs on any PC.
DNA provides a central location for listing all the supported FLIR Professional Security camera models
accessible over the network. Once listed, each camera can be right-clicked to access and change the
network settings. If the network settings are changed for some reason, a new search will relist the units.
The units may then be configured via the web interface.
If FLIR's Latitude VMS is being used, configure the unit with a static IP address rather than with DHCP.
This ensures that the IP address will not automatically change in the future and interfere with configurations
and communication.
The camera must be made accessible for setting network addresses.
Note:
For detailed guidelines about DNA and its usage, refer to the DNA 2.1 User Manual, which is included in
the CD provided with the camera.
