|
| • Obtain Address Automatically |
|
| DHCP server for dynamic allocation of IP addresses, choose this option |
|
| if you want DHCP to assign an IP address and subnet mask to the IP |
|
| camera. Depending on your router, the default gateway, primary DNS |
|
| server, and secondary DNS server may also be assigned. The DHCP |
|
| server must be configured to allocate static IP addresses based on MAC |
|
| addresses so that the IP camera always receives the same address. |
|
| • Fixed IP |
|
| IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway for the camera. |
|
|
|
IP Address |
| If you configured the IP camera for a fixed IP address, enter that IP address. |
|
|

|
| network. |
|
|
|

|
| the IP camera. Use the same value that is configured for the PCs on your |
|
| network. |
|
|
|
Primary DNS |
| Optional. Enter the IP address of the primary the DNS server that is used in |
|
| your network. Use the same value that is used for the PCs on your LAN. |
|
| Typically, your ISP provides this address. |
|
| This address is required if you use a DNS name instead of an IP address in |
|
| the SMTP Mail Server field in the Mail & FTP window. |
|
| |
Secondary DNS | Optional. Enter the IP address of a secondary (backup) DNS server to use if | |
