Network Settings

Configuration Type		Choose the option that indicates how the IP camera obtains its IP address:
		• Obtain Address Automatically (DHCP)—If your network includes a
		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 Address—Choose this option if you want to manually enter an
		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.

Subnet Mask		If you configured the IP camera for a fixed IP address, enter the subnet mask
		for the IP camera. Use the same value that is configured for the PCs on your
		network.

Gateway		If you configured the IP camera for a fixed IP address, enter the gateway for
		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
		the primary DNS server is unavailable. Enter the DNS server to be used if
		the primary DNS server is unavailable.

The Wireless Setup window provides options for configuring wireless security and region settings for the Wireless IP camera. This window is not available for the wired IP camera model.

To display the Wireless Setup window, access the configuration windows as described in the “Accessing the IP Camera Windows” section on page 2-6, click Setup, then click Wireless Setup.

If you change any options in the Wireless Setup window, you must click Save to save the changes. To discard the changes, click Cancel before clicking Save. These buttons appear at the bottom of the window. You may need to scroll down to see them.

CIVS-IPC-2500, 2500 Series specifications

The Cisco Systems 2500 Series routers are a series of versatile, feature-rich networking devices designed to address the needs of various enterprises and small to medium-sized businesses. Released in the early 1990s, the 2500 Series quickly became a backbone solution for organizations seeking reliable and efficient networking capabilities.

One of the defining characteristics of the Cisco 2500 Series is its modular architecture, which allows businesses to customize their routers based on specific networking needs. This modularity accommodates various interface cards, enabling the integration of different protocols and connection types, including serial, Ethernet, and WAN interfaces. As a result, organizations can tailor their routers to support diverse applications while ensuring optimal performance.

The Cisco 2500 Series supports several advanced routing protocols, including RIP, OSPF, EIGRP, and BGP. This support provides flexibility for network design and ensures that users can implement scalable solutions as their business grows. Moreover, the routers come equipped with robust security features, including access control lists (ACLs) and support for VPNs, making them suitable for organizations that require a secure network environment.

A notable feature of the Cisco 2500 Series is its support for Quality of Service (QoS). This functionality allows organizations to prioritize certain types of traffic, ensuring that critical applications, such as VoIP or video conferencing, receive the necessary bandwidth and minimal latency. This is particularly beneficial for businesses that rely on real-time communications and need to maintain high levels of service quality.

Additionally, the implementation of Cisco’s internetworking technologies, such as IP and frame relay, enhances the overall performance and versatility of the 2500 Series routers. These technologies enable efficient data transmission and improve network reliability, which is essential for organizations with complex networking requirements.

In summary, the Cisco Systems 2500 Series routers are known for their modular design, support for multiple routing protocols, robust security features, and advanced QoS capabilities. Their ability to adapt to different networking environments makes them an ideal choice for businesses looking to enhance their connectivity and streamline their operations. Even decades after their introduction, the 2500 Series remains a relevant player in the networking market, demonstrating Cisco's commitment to providing effective solutions for diverse industries.
