Camera and Network Adapter IP Configuration
The IP Configuration Tool has two modes, List Mode and Edit mode:
When the tool is first opened it is in List mode. In list mode, the tool can display a list of
detected cameras, can display information about the camera selected in the list, and will let
you assign a temporary IP address to the selected camera. When in list mode, the tool does
not have a control channel open to any of the detected cameras. In list mode, the tool
communicates with the cameras at a very low level.
When the Change IP Configuration button is pressed, the tool will enter Edit mode. In edit
mode, the tool will open a control channel to the selected camera. Once the control channel is
open, the tool can make changes to things such as the selected camera's persistent IP
address or Device User ID. Clicking the Write Configuration button takes the tool out of Edit
mode and places it in List mode.
Assigning a Temporary IP Address to a Camera
You can use the IP Configuration Tool to assign a temporary IP address to a selected camera. Once
a temporary IP address has been assigned to a camera, the camera will retain and use the
temporary IP address until you do one of the following:
Perform a camera reset or switch the camera off and back on.
Assign a different temporary IP address to the camera.
Use the tool to make permanent changes the camera's IP configuration.
A situation where you might want to assign a temporary IP address to a camera would be, for
example, if you temporarily moved the camera from the PC where it is normally connected to
another PC that is in a different subnet.
To assign a temporary IP address to a camera:
1. Click on the camera's name in the list at the left side of the IP Configurator window.
2. Click the Assign Temporary IP Address button.
3. An Assign Temporary IP Address (Force IP) window will open as shown below.
a. Enter your desired IP Address, Subnet mask, and Default Gateway.
(Keep in mind that for the camera to communicate properly with the network adapter to
which it is attached, the camera must be in the same subnet as the adapter and the camera
must have a unique IP address.)
b. Click the OK button.
c. The selected camera's current IP address will immediately be changed and the IP
Configurator window will be updated to reflect the changes.
