DS-2TD2137-7P Thermal Network Camera User Manual
Chapter 11 Network Settings
TCP/IP
TCP/IP settings must be properly configured before you can operate the device over a network. IPv4 and
IPv6 are both supported. Both versions can be configured simultaneously without conflicting with each
other.
Go to Configuration → Basic Configuration → Network → TCP/IP for parameter settings.
•
NIC Type: Select a NIC (Network Interface Card) type according to your network condition.
IPv4: Two IPv4 modes are available.
•
DHCP: The device automatically gets the IPv4 parameters from the network if you check DHCP. The
•
device IP address changes after enabling the function. Use SADP to get the device IP address.
NOTE:
The network that the device is connected to should support DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol).
•
Manual: You can set the device IPv4 parameters manually. Input IPv4 Address, IPv4 Subnet Mask, and
IPv4 Default Gateway, and click Test to see if the IP address is available.
•
IPv6: Three IPv6 modes are available.
Route Advertisement: The IPv6 address is generated by combining the route advertisement and the
•
device Mac address.
NOTE:
Route advertisement mode requires support from the router that the device is
connected to.
DHCP: The IPv6 address is assigned by the server, router, or gateway.
•
•
Manual: Input IPv6 Address, IPv6 Subnet, and IPv6 Default Gateway. Consult the network administrator
for required information.
•
MTU: It stands for maximum transmission unit. It is the size of the largest protocol data unit that can be
communicated in a single network layer transaction.
NOTE:
The valid MTU value range is 1280 to 1500.
DNS: It stands for domain name server. It is required if you need to visit the device with a domain name.
•
It is also required for some applications (e.g., sending e-mail). Set Preferred DNS Server and Alternate
DNS server properly if needed.
Multicast Discovery
Check Enable Multicast Discovery, and then the online network camera will be automatically detected by
client software via private multicast protocol in the LAN.
