3.2.6 Starting The Camera With An Automatic IP Address (DHCP)

If your network has a DHCP server, you can start the MOBOTIX camera with DHCP support.
The camera automatically obtains an IP address from the DHCP server and announces
the new network data. Note that if the speaker has been previously deactivated the
announcement will not be audible (Admin Menu > Microphone and Speaker).
1. If the camera is powered on, disconnect the power supply by unplugging the
corresponding cables and then reconnect the power supply.
2. After about ten seconds, the LEDs will light up and blink for about four seconds
(first blink), light up continuously and then blink again for about four seconds
(second blink).
3. After they stop blinking (all LEDs light up continuously again), hold the magnetic
side of the custom tool over the spot above the microphone labeled L in the
figure (the switch is inside the camera housing).
4. If you skip this step, disconnect the camera
from the power supply and start from the
beginning.
5. Release the custom tool after around 25
seconds when the camera emits a sound
twice ("boing, boing"). The network data is
announced shortly afterwards.
Starting the camera with an automatic IP address (DHCP) is only temporary. The
network configuration of the camera can be set to DHCP permanently under Admin
Menu > Ethernet Interface.
When starting the camera with DHCP support, make sure that the network has a
functioning DHCP server. If this is not the case, the camera cannot obtain a valid IP
address and will fall back to its last IP address.
You should also make sure that the cameras always obtain the same IP addresses
by assigning the MAC addresses of the cameras to the desired IP addresses.
