Troubleshooting Guide

The StarDot Tools software does not list NetCam SC on my local network and/or
is not accessible via its IP address.
1.
Double-check all cable connections and make sure NetCam SC's network
cable is plugged into an active Ethernet hub, switch or router. Make sure
NetCam SC's power LED is on (amber on boot-up, then green).
2.
Connect NetCam SC to a PC's serial port with the included null modem
cable to verify network settings with the StarDot Tools software.
NetCam SC is slow to respond on a web browser.
1.
If you have dial-up Internet connection, this may be normal.
2.
Try the various view modes, pull, push and DirectX.
3.
Set the JPEG quality to 70 or below. The higher the JPEG quality, the bigger
the image file size, with very little improvement in image quality.
Images are not uploading to FTP server.
1.
Double check all settings including hostname, username, password and
path by using third party FTP client software (the command prompt FTP
in Windows is a good test).
2.
Try using an IP address in the hostname, or double check your DNS settings.
For dial-up NetCam SC, do not use an IP address, use a hostname.
3.
Try turning on the advanced FTP options "Delete Before Rename" and "IIS
4.0"
4.
Telnet to NetCam SC and type ftpscript ftp0.scr and press Enter.
Watch the results for errors.
