HNVE1 V2.1 1-Channel Encoder Reference Guide Option Device Name IP Address Subnet Mask Default Gateway MAC Address Table 3-4 IP Network Device Setting Options Description By default, the device name is the device type plus the MAC Address. It is recommended that you change the device name. The IP address of the device on the network. The subnet mask, or netmask, value of the device on the network. IP networks can be divided into several smaller networks by subnetting. When a network is subnetted, you must specify a subnet mask, which tells network devices which smaller network they belong to. Note If the subnet mask is not properly configured, the camera or dome may not be able to communicate with other devices on the network. The default gateway address that connects the device to the network. Enter the IP address of the host to use as a gateway between networks. The gateway allows communication between devices that are on different networks. Without a correct gateway setting, the camera or dome cannot receive or transmit data from or to devices that are not in the same network address range. The MAC address is a factory-assigned address that is unique for each device.
