Connecting NetCam SC to a Network
The StarDot Tools software can be used to find the camera's IP
address or to configure the camera with the Setup Wizard (optional).
Install the StarDot Tools software by inserting the CD-ROM and
running setup.exe (it should run automatically).
Connect NetCam SC into a PoE switch or injector with a
standard CAT 5 network cable or with a StarDot Combo
Ethernet/Power Cable.
If your network has a router or server that automatically assigns
IP addresses (DHCP), StarDot Tools will find the camera's IP
address and display it in the software. To access NetCam SC,
simply double-click its IP address. If the IP address is displayed,
skip to Chapter 3.
If no DHCP server is present, the NetCam SC will auto assign
itself a "zeroconf" IP address, which will always start with
169.254. You can temporarily assign your computer a similar
address and use StarDot Tools to find the camera's IP address
and assign it a new permanent IP address. To do so, give your
PC the IP address 169.254.100.100 with a subnet of 255.255.0.0.

An Overview of Network Connectivity
A LAN or network connection is the simplest configuration
for NetCam SC. NetCam SC simply needs an IP address (and other
networking parameters) to make the live images and configuration
menus accessible from any web browser on the network. There are
two ways NetCam SC can be assigned an IP address: automatically
or manually.
