10.2 Basic Mode: Date/Time

Device date/Device time/Device time zone

If there are multiple devices operating in your system or network, it is important to synchronize their internal clocks. For example, it is only possible to identify and correctly evaluate simultaneous recordings when all units are operating on the same time. If necessary, you can synchronize the unit with your computer's system settings.

Click the Sync to PC button to copy your computer's system time to the IP AutoDome.

Time server IP address

The IP AutoDome can receive the time signal from a time server using various time server protocols, and then use it to set the internal clock. The unit polls the time signal automatically once every minute.

Enter the IP address of a time server here.

Time server type

Select the protocol that is supported by the selected time server. Preferably, you should select the SNTP server as the protocol. This supports a high level of accuracy and is required for special applications and subsequent function extensions.

Select Time server for a time server that works with the protocol RFC 868.

10.3 Basic Mode: Network

The settings on this page are used to integrate the IP AutoDome into an existing network. Some changes only take effect after the unit is rebooted. In this case, the Set button changes to Set and Reboot.

1.Make the desired changes.

2.Click the Set and Reboot button. The IP AutoDome is rebooted and the changed settings are activated.

CAUTION!

If you change the IP address, subnet mask or gateway address, the IP AutoDome is only available under the new addresses after the reboot.

DHCP

If a DHCP server is employed in the network for the dynamic assignment of IP addresses, you can activate acceptance of IP addresses automatically assigned to the IP AutoDome.

Certain applications (VIDOS, Bosch Video Management System, Archive Player, Configuration Manager) use the IP address for the unique assignment of the unit. If you use these applications, the DHCP server must support the fixed assignment between IP address and MAC address, and must be appropriately set up so that, once an IP address is assigned, it is retained each time the system is rebooted.

IP address

Enter the desired IP address for the IP AutoDome in this field. The IP address must be valid for the network.

Subnet mask

Enter the appropriate subnet mask for the selected IP address here.

Gateway address

If you want the unit to establish a connection to a remote location in a different subnet, enter the IP address of the gateway here. Otherwise leave the box blank (0.0.0.0).
