Preparation Preparation The Preparation section explains what the administrator has to prepare for monitoring the images after installation and connection of the camera. 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 7) • Using the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) commands (see page 65) 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 this Unit to a Local Network" in the supplied Installation Manual. 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 65. • 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 10 or "Configuring Windows Firewall" in "When using Windows Vista" on page 12. Assigning an IP address using the IP Setup Program 1 Insert the CD-ROM in your CD-ROM drive. A cover page appears automatically in your Web browser. If it does not appear automatically in the Web browser, double-click on the index.htm file on the CD-ROM. When you are using Windows Vista, pop-up "AutoPlay" may appear. For details, "Installing software" in "When using Windows Vista" on page 11. 2 Click the Setup icon of IP Setup Program. The "File Download" dialog opens. When you are using Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista, a message regarding the active contents may appear. For details, see "Installing software" in "When using Windows XP Service Pack 2" on page 9 or "Installing software" in "When using Windows Vista" on page 11. 3 Click Open. Note If you click "Save this program to disk" on the "File Download" dialog, you will not be able to perform set up correctly. Delete the downloaded file, and click the Setup icon again. 4 Install the IP Setup Program on your computer using the wizard.
