SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP Usually these settings are changed during installation to ones more compliant with the network configuration. When initially connecting a camera to your network, there is a possibility that the camera’s pre- configured IP address may already be in use on the network. Check your network before attaching your camera to ensure there is not a conflict with another device.

SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP Example: Typical use of ipconfig in Windows XP Enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway for your PC’s Ethernet adapter into Table 2. The Ethernet adapter data you see by using ipconfig will probably be different from that shown in the example above.
Page 10
SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP After the third period, include any number between 1 and 256 that is different from the one in your PC’s IP address, 168. As a first try, let’s choose 200, which will form the IP address 192.168.1.200.
SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP In this test, the message “Request timed out” indicates that your PC cannot reach the device with that IP address, and that address is probably not in use. Enter this number into Table 2. If this test indicated that this IP address is in use, try other IP addresses using the steps above until an unused address is found.
SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP To install the IPAdmin Tool, do the following: Insert the CD mini disk provided with your camera into your computer’s CD ROM drive and open the CD in a Windows Explorer window. Establish a directory on your computer hard drive for the IPAdmin Tool application. Copy the files IPAdminTool.exe and IPAdminTool.dll to your new directory.
SECTION 2: INSTALLATION AND SETUP Mounting ring Tighten the lens set screw with the hex wrench provided. If the lens assembly has an Auto Iris feature, attach the lens cable to the 4-pin connector on the back of the camera. Pin definitions are shown in the table below. Attach the camera to the mounting bracket.
