Assigning the IP Address to the Camera

8

Assigning the IP

Address to the Camera

To connect the camera to a network, you need to assign

a new IP address to the camera when installing the

camera for the first time.

You can assign an IP address in two ways:

•

Using the setup program stored in the supplied CD-

ROM (see page 8)

•

Using the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)

commands (see page 69)

This section explains how to assign an IP address to the

camera using the supplied setup program and how to

configure the network.

Before starting, connect the camera, referring to

“Connecting to a Computer or a Network” on page 7.

Consult the administrator of the network about the

assigned IP address.

Notes

•

The IP Setup Program may not operate correctly if you

use a personal firewall or antivirus software in your

computer.

In that case, disable the software or assign

an IP address to the camera using another method.

For

example, see “Assigning the IP Address to the Camera

Using ARP Commands” on page 69.

•

If you are using Windows XP Service Pack 2 or

Windows Vista, disable the Windows Firewall

function. Otherwise the IP Setup Program will not

operate correctly. For the setting, see “Configuring

Windows Firewall” in “When using Windows XP

Service Pack 2” on page 11 or “Configuring Windows

Firewall” in “When using Windows Vista” on

page 13.
