IP addressing. The host name, domain name, and DHCP timeout features are only available when you

enable this feature.

2. At the IP address feature, enter the static IP address of the dome. The dome ships with the default IP

address of 192.168.1.2. Whether you will be using static or dynamic addressing for your system, do

assign an initial static IP address for the dome. If you are using DHCP, this will be the backup IP

address.

3. At the Net mask feature, enter the IP address of the subnet mask of the network subdivision that the

dome is assigned to.

4. At the DNS server feature, enter the IP address of the network domain name server.

5. At the Gateway feature, enter the IP address of the gateway between the dome and the network server.

6. At the Host name feature, enter the name of the camera on the network. This feature is not available if

the DHCP Enabled feature is not checked.

Note:

This is only used when DHCP is enabled.

7. At the Domain name feature, enter a domain name. This feature is not used with DHCP.

8. At the DHCP timeout feature, choose between 1 minute, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 30 minutes. This feature is

not available if the DHCP Enabled feature is not checked.

9. At the MAC address feature, do nothing. It is provided as a unique hardware address for the dome. It

allows you to connect to the dome before you have set up its network addressing. The MAC address is

assigned at the factory. The installer establishes the overriding IP address during installation.

Note:

Any changes to the Network settings will require a reboot for the settings to take effect.

Setting the encoder ports

The Encoder page establishes the control and multicast ports that are required to complete network

connectivity for the dome. There are two tabs on the Encoder page. You must change the features on the

Control tab. You may customize the features on the Video tab, but the dome will operate with the default

settings.

To access the Encoder page, select Camera and Encoder.
