2-3 Setting IP Address for this Camera Using the "VN-C205U Setup Tool"

Set the IP address for VN-C205 using the "VN-C205U Setup Tool" that has been installed.

(This "VN-C205U Setup Tool" only allows connection of VN-C205.)

Cautions

•Upon turning on the power of this camera, it may take about 60 seconds before it can be connected to the PC.

•At the factory, DHCP is enabled for VN-C205.

•Using DHCP

JVC does not recommend operating VN-C205 with the DHCP function enabled because a different IP address may be assigned upon the renewal of the leasing contract. The DHCP function of VN-C205 is included with the aim to simplify installation/setting procedures.

Note

To connect to a VN-C205 for which DHCP has been enabled, the DHCP server must exist in an environment where the assigned IP address and MAC address are clearly defined. If the DHCP server is not found, it will automatically start up using the static IP address after 60 seconds.

[V.Networks ID] works as an identification code set to VN-C205. Only alphanumeric characters can be used.

be possible even if the IP address of the camera is found via search. Change the IP address

of the PC to an appropriate value and connect the camera.

In a system where more than 1 VN-C205 is used, turn on the power for a VN-C205 first, followed by setting the camera until "2-3 Setting IP Address for this Camera Using the 'VN-C205U Setup Tool' " is completed. Upon doing so, turn on a second camera and perform setting in the same way. Perform the same procedure for subsequent cameras.
