Starting The Camera With An Automatic Ip Address (Dhcp) - Mobotix D24M Manual

Manual And Automatic Operation - Overview

3.2.5 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.
In this case, the DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address.
Once startup has been completed, the camera automatically announces its IP address,
its network mask and its MAC address. Note that this announcement function only works
with cameras with a loudspeaker (not the D24M!) and can be deactivated (Admin Menu >
Loudspeaker and Microphone).
1. If the camera is running, disconnect the camera's power supply.
2. Reconnect the power supply of the camera.
3. Wait until both LEDs light up simultaneously for the first time. Press the camera's
R key within four seconds.
4. After about two more seconds, the camera plays a sound ("Boing, Boing").
5. After about another 15 seconds, the camera will automatically announce its net-
work data (only with ExtIO). You can now access the camera using this IP address.
If you would like to have a running camera repeat its network settings, simply press
the camera's R key once (ExtIO must be connected and activated).
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 use 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.
