FLIR M-Series and NavNet TZtouch
Overview
The following example illustrates the integration of the FLIR M-Series into a NavNet network. The M-
Series and the JCU controller are set with a fix IP address compatible with NavNet TZtouch. When you
purchase a FLIR (with JCU), it will have a different IP address and will require changes before it is
used with the TZtouch system.
Installation
FLIR Configuration
You have to assign the M-Series and the Controller (JCU), a fixed IP address. We recommend you use
192.168.252.200 / 255.255.255.0 for the M-Series Camera, and 192.168.252.201 / 255.255.255.0
for the JCU (although any IP beginning with 192.168.252.x would work as long as they don't collide
with any existing IP).
The FLIR M-Series and the JCU controller are UPnP-enabled devices. You can easily see the list of
UPnP-enabled devices from your computer by opening "My Network Places" if using a Microsoft XP
computer or "Network" if using a Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8 computer. Note that the M-Series
and JCU will only appear on your PC, if they are all on the same network domain.
Normally, the JCU gets its power from the camera when directly connected to the M-Series. When
connecting the JCU to a HUB or Switch, you must use a power injector (48V) to power the unit (see
diagram above).
When the computer is connected to the M-Series Camera and JCU via an Ethernet cable or via a
Hub/Switch (without router or DHCP server on the network), the M-Series and JCU automatically
assign themselves an IP address of 169.254.x.x / 255.255.0.0. In order to access the configuration
