Advanced Configuration

3.10

The camera comes configured from the factory with default settings for the IP address

(192.168.250.116), the login password (fliradmin), and all of the other configuration parameters

(stored in a file called server.ini). In some cases, it may be necessary to restore the settings of the

camera to the original factory settings. If necessary, this can be accomplished by temporarily

connecting a loopback device to the Ethernet port during initial power-up

after power is turned on, the loopback should be removed to allow the camera to finish booting up.

Note

The camera will not finish booting up while the loopback device is connected to the camera. The

camera will display analog video, but the Nexus Server will not start until the loopback is removed

from the camera.

At each power-up, the system transmits a packet and then checks to determine if that same packet

has been received. Detection of the received packet indicates the camera has a custom loopback

connector installed on its Ethernet interface. The detection of the loopback packet cues the camera to

restore Factory Defaults (including the IP settings, user passwords, and configuration file), reverting to

the same configuration and behavior as when the camera left the factory.

The custom loopback connector is described below.

The RJ45 loopback termination ties pin 1 to pin 3, and pin 2 to pin 6. The other pins are not

connected. This type of device is available commercially (the Smartronix Superlooper Ethernet
