This section explains how to assign an IP address to the camera using ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) commands without using the supplied setup program.

Note

Enter the ARP commands within 5 minutes after the power of the camera is turned on.

1 Open the DOS window on the computer.

2 Enter the IP address and the MAC address of the camera you want assign a new IP address to, using the following ARP commands.

arp -s <Camera's IP address> <Camera's MAC address> ping -t <Camera's IP address>

Example:

arp -s 192.168.0.100 08-00-46-21-00-00 ping -t 192.168.0.100

3 When the following line is displayed on the DOS window, hold down Ctrl and press C.
