3.Turn the F2 dial to select “Yes”, and then press the F2 dial.

Auto IP setting starts.

During auto IP setting, the progress is indicated by the number of

When all the operations have been completed successfully, the following message appears.

1.AUTO SET

COMPLETE

The remote cameras and the switcher are automatically rebooted, and they restart with the new IP addresses which were set.

The remote cameras can now be operated from the unit.

The function for linking the switcher with the unit can now be used.

zzWhen setting the IP addresses failed, the following message appears.

1.AUTO SET

SET UP ERR!

The cause of the problem is likely to be a network malfunction. Check the connection status of the hub and LAN cables, and then retry the auto IP setting operation.

„„Leaving the IP addresses of the additional devices to be introduced unchanged and automatically updating the connection destination IP addresses set on the unit

<Overview of operation>

The link settings can be configured by executing “KEEP IP ADR” in AUTO IP menu [37].

With “KEEP IP ADR”, the unit first searches within the same subnet mask.

Then, links are set between the newly detected remote cameras and camera numbers for which the connection type is set to “NoAsign” on the unit.

At that time, the IP addresses of the remote cameras are kept as is and the connection destination IP address values set on the unit are overwritten.

Likewise, when a new switcher is detected while the connection type for the switcher is set to “NoAsign” on the unit, the link setting is configured by keeping the IP address of the detected switcher and overwriting the connection destination IP address value set on the unit.

Example:

(1)Operation is being performed with the three remote cameras A, B and C set to CAM1, CAM2 and CAM3, respectively.

(2)The new remote camera D (with the following IP address value) is added.

Remote camera D : 192.168.000.020

(3)Connection types set on the unit (CTRL TYPE menu [36]) CAM1 : Network

CAM2 : Network

CAM3 : Network

CAM4 : NoAsign

(4)Connection destination IP address set on the unit (MANUAL IP menu [39])

CAM4 : 192.168.000.013

When “KEEP IP ADR” is executed in this state, the IP address of remote camera D is not changed, the connection destination IP address set on the unit is overwritten with the following value, and a link is set to remote camera D.

Connection destination IP address of CAM4:

192.168.000.200

zzIf camera numbers for which the connection type is set to other than “Serial” include a camera number for which the connection destination IP address is set to the same value as the IP address of a detected remote camera, the connection destination IP address set on the unit is not updated. The connection destination IP address is kept as is and a link is set for the corresponding camera number and remote camera.

Note

zzSet the subnet mask of the unit and remote camera to the same value. If the subnet masks are different, no operations using the network will be possible.
