Page 19: Info Web Page
The Info web page gives a quick overview of some of iViewHDʼs settings: • Device Name - shows the name of the iViewHD camera. This name is directly translatable to a Bonjour name which allows the camera to be located on the network. - Page 20 Userʼs Manual • Static IP 1 & 2 - shows each static IP address that iViewHD will respond to. A value of 0.0.0.0 means that no Static IP address has been configured. • System Events - These are internal events that iViewHD logs. If you are experiencing prob- lems, technical support may ask you for these values to assist in isolating the problem.

The factory default name is in the form iViewHD-TT (XXXXXX), where TT is either 2M for a 2 megapixel camera or D1 for a D1 camera. XXXXXX are the last 3 digits of the iViewHDʼs MAC ad- dress in hex You can change the name to anything up to 32 characters. You should try to keep names unique on your network if you are using multiple iViewHDs to more easily distinguish among them. -
Page 22: Change Tcp Keep-Alive
The extra port value can be used, for example, in a NAT router to forward TCP/IP data in a certain port range to a iViewHD. You could set port 47080 to be forwarded to a iViewHD on the local network while the NAT routerʼs web page was externally accessible as port 80. -
Page 23: Ip Options Web Page
Userʼs Manual IP Options Web Page The IP Web page allows you to specify how iViewHD acquires an IP address. You can enable or dis- able DHCP address acquisition or you can assign fixed IP addresses to iViewHD.

The current Website will be erased, but the current Firmware will not be altered. This operation will take less than 1 minute. During this time, iViewHDʼs LED will be blink- ing to indicate that the persistent storage is being erased. Do not remove power while this is happen- ing. - Page 29 Userʼs Manual after persistent storage is erased. This is useful when persistent storage is getting full and you want to reinitialize it, but donʼt want to lose your configuration parameters. If power is lost during this opera- tion, then it is likely that the current configuration parameters were not saved and restored.

Page 34: Arp Table Modification
The ARP table is normally filled in automatically by the operating system, but you can also modify it and assign your iViewHD camera an IP address. You need to be careful in doing so as not to use an IP address that is already in use. Once you assign an IP address to a camera, you can use the IP ad- dress in a web browser to setup the camera. - Page 35 Userʼs Manual Letʼs say we wanted to address the iViewHD camera at IP address 192.1681.200. The command in Windows would be arp -s 192.168.1.200 00-03-75-00-00-07 In Linux or Mac OS X the command would be arp -s 192.168.1.200 00:03:75:00:00:07 Here is an example CMD.EXE session for windows mapping the IP address 192.168.1.200 to the...

Page 36: Adding Route To Windows So Link Local Devices Can Be Accessed
This means that it can communicate with LL devices such as iViewHD. In most cases once Windows obtains an IP address via DHCP, iViewHD will also obtain a DHCP ad- dress and accessing the device is not an issue. There may be cases, however, where the DHCP server does not assign an IP address to iViewHD. -
Page 37: Http Commands
