Figure 23. Firmware Update Tool

If more cameras need IP addresses changed, unplug the current camera(s) from the Ethernet port
before connecting the next camera. Connect each camera, one by one, directly to the VA61, even
if you will use a GigE Switch or Router later. Connect the camera to the port it will finally be
connected to. Cameras are not interchangeable between Camera Port 1 and Camera Port 2.
If you are using iNspect or iLabel, you do not need to complete any of the remaining steps in this
Appendix. The rest of this Appendix applies to Sherlock setup. You may wish to skip forward to
the section on Distributed Networks, on page 59, or Changing Out Cameras on page 62.
For Sherlock users, after all cameras have been assigned compatible IP addresses, unplug the
last camera. If you are using a switch or hub, connect it to the VA61. Connect the cameras one by
one, in the order you want them to appear in Sherlock. Wait for a camera to appear in the Status
window (Figure 20) before plugging in the next camera.
