Software Installation (continued)

The opening IP Installer screen will appear and show a MAC address of the DCS-5300and an IPAddress (which may or may not be correct depending on what you have your DCS-5300connected to.) If you have a DHCP* server on your

network, there will be a valid IP146 Address displayed here.

*A DHCP server is a device that supplies IP Addresses to its clients that are on the same network.

IMPORTANT:

A hardware reset of the Internet Camera is now required to allow the IP Installer program to configure the camera correctly. To accomplish this reset, lightly insert a paper clip (or a similar sized tool) into the reset hole on the back of the camera (see page 6 for the location of the reset hole.) The LED on the front of the camera will begin blinking red and green. When it stops the blinking cycle continue to hold in the reset button until a second cycle of blinking red and green lights indicates a second reset cycle has completed. This will take approximately 5-7 seconds.

The IP Installer will now show a MAC address for the DCS-5300and an IP address. This IP address may not be correct at this step in the installation.
