Reset IP address at next boot: The default status is checked to avoid erroneous entries during installation. Having to perform software installation whenever the network camera starts can be tedious. Therefore, once the network settings have been entered correctly (especially the IP address), uncheck this option. If this option is disabled, the network camera will skip installation at the next boot. The network camera can automatically restart and operate normally after a power outage. Users can run IP Setup to check the IP address assigned to the network camera if the IP address is forgotten, or they can use the UPnP function provided by the network camera (MS Windows XP provides the UPnP function at Network Neighborhood).
General
IP address: This is necessary for network identification.
Subnet mask: This is used to determine if the destination is in the same subnet. The default value is “255.255.255.0”.
Default router: This is the gateway used to forward frames to destinations in a different subnet. Invalid router settings will cause transmissions to destinations in different subnets to fail.
Primary DNS: The primary domain name server that translates hostnames into IP addresses.
Secondary DNS: Secondary domain name server that backs up the Primary DNS.
HTTP
HTTP port: This can be something other than the default Port 80. Once the port is changed, the User must be notified of the change for the connection to be successful. For instance, when the Administrator changes the HTTP port of the network camera whose IP address is 192.168.0.100 from 80 to 8080, the User must type in the web browser “http://192.168.0.100:8080” instead of “http://192.168.0.100”.
Streaming
Control channel port: This can be something other than the default port 5001 in order to work with the port opened by the firewall.
Audio channel port: This can be something other than the default port 5002 in order to work with the port opened by the firewall.
Video channel port: This can be something other than the default port 5003 in order to work with the port opened by the firewall.
Improve audio quality in low bandwidth environment: If the network camera seems to work in a low bandwidth network environment, the User can use this option to see if audio quality can be improved by sacrificing some
WLAN Configuration
SSID (Service Set Identifier): This is a name that identifies a wireless network. Access Points and wireless clients attempting to connect to a specific WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) must use the same SSID. The default setting is
