Network Setup
Guide to Network Setup
Please configure the IP Smart Dome at the location of its installation. You must determine your network scenario in order to configure the IP Smart Dome with the proper TCP/IP settings. This tutorial will guide you through the process. Before actually configuring the IP Smart Dome, determine what settings you will apply. Record those settings that you will use to configure your IP Smart Dome for reference.
When configuring your IP Smart Dome, treat the IP Smart Dome as another PC on your network. You will assign it several addresses and other TCP/IP properties to match your current network.

1.Before you begin, you will need to locate any information and settings that you have received from your Internet Service Provider (ISP). You may need to refer to these IP addresses at a later time during the configuration.
If you were not given any IP addresses or the ISP was responsible for the setup and installation of your Internet connection on your PC or network, then please go to step ○2
If you are not using a router on your network, your “Current TCP/IP Settings” (from the previous section) and “Assigned IP Addresses from My ISP” will be exactly the same
Assigned IP Address
IP Address
Subnet Mask
Default Gateway
Primary DNS Server
Secondary DNS Server (Option)
Static Dynamic PPPoE
2.You must determine whether the IP address that you were assigned from the ISP is STATIC, DYNAMIC, or using PPPoE. At this moment, you are only concerned about the ISP. Did they provide you with a STATIC, DYNAMIC, or PPPoE address? If you are unsure, please contact your ISP.
3.Configure your IP Smart Dome’s TCP/IP settings for network connectivity by selecting Administration Tools from the main interface and selecting TCP/IP located on the left of the
Administration Tools screen.
4.If prompted for an ID and Password, use “root” for ID and “4321” for password.
The default HTTP port number is 80. If your ISP blocks port 80 you must use a value between 10000 and 60000. Please consult your ISP and determine if they block TCP port 80.
5.Depicted below are several basic network scenarios. Determine which scenario describes your network. If your network does not match one of the scenarios below and are unsure how to setup your IP Smart Dome, please contact your network administrator, then call our Support Center.
Dash line box signifies areas of tour network that you can't control. Only the ISP has access to these devices.
Case A : Dynamic IP or PPPoE
+Personal Router [Most SOHO]
Configure your IP Smart Dome's TCP/IP properties as follows :
❖IP Type
•STATIC (even though you have Dynamic IP from your ISP, use STATIC on the IP Smart Dome)
❖IP Address
•A private IP address such as 192.168.0.202 [Example]
You need to assign the IP Smart Dome an IP address, just as you would assign a PC.
The IP address you assign must be unique to your network as well as match your network.
The IP address you assign the IP Smart Dome must be a private IP.
❖Subnet Mask
•255.255.255.0 [Example]
You must use the same subnet mask as the one you noted under “Current TCP/IP Settings”.
