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.
