The UPnP function will always assign an IP address for the Network Camera. If, however, the IP Address returned by the IP Setup program is not consistent with your LAN settings or you want to change the IP address manually, you can go to the bottom half of the window, and assign an IP address in the IP address bar.
Administrators can fix the device’s IP address by checking the option “Use this IP whenever system boots”. Then click “Set IP Address”. (It is recommended that you click the checkbox.) This will allow administrators skip future installation procedures. Otherwise, the unit will need installation each time it is restarted.
If the IP address is not already being used by another device on the network, IP Setup will continue with the setup. Otherwise, another message window will appear, warning that the assigned IP conflicts. In this case, administrators should search for a vacant IP address or ask the network supervisor for assistance.
If the setup is successful, click on in the message window that appears. The "Assigned" field will then be labeled "Yes". Please note the address information for reference and future requests by users. (If any error dialog boxes appear, other than “Set IP OK”, please see the instructions that follow.)
The Administrator can click on “Link to selected device” to connect the network camera to Internet Explorer. If the camera is not on the IP Setup list, click on the “Search” button to search for the camera on the LAN.
