Making Changes to the Camera's IP Configuration
You can use the IP Configuration Tool to make permanent changes to the camera's IP
configuration. (Permanent means that the changes will stay in place even when the camera is reset
or switched off and back on.)
If you want to change the IP configuration of the camera:
1. Click on the Change IP Configuration button.
a. In some cases (such as when the camera's current IP address is misconfigured), a Force IP
window will appear as shown below. The message in the window will indicate that you must
first assign a temporary IP address. If you see this message, go to step 2.
b. If you do not see a message about assigning a temporary IP address, go to step 3.
2. Click the OK button in the Force IP window. An Assign Temporary IP Address (Force IP) window
will open as shown below.
a. Enter an IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway. (If you are using the camera in a
peer-to-peer network, you do not normally need to enter a 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 camera's IP address will be changed and the Assign Temporary IP Address (Force IP)
window will close.
d. Go on to step 3.
3. The IP configurator window will enter edit mode and will now allow you to enter new IP values
as shown below.
a. If desired, enter a Device User ID for the camera.
b. If you want to assign the camera a persistent (fixed) IP address, enter an IP address, a
subnet mask, and a default gateway.
Also make sure that the Use Persistent IP check box is checked.
(Before you assign a persistent IP address, you should read the notes that appear in the
note at the end of this procedure.)
c. If you want the camera to use DHCP address assignment (i.e., to obtain an IP address from
a DHCP server attached to the same network as the camera), make sure that the Use
DHCP check box is checked and that the Use Persistent IP check box is not checked.
