Installing the Honeywell IP Utility and Web-Client Software

The IP network setting details, such as device name, IP address, and subnet mask, can be configured for each connected device either automatically or manually.

Note It is important to click Apply to save any configuration change.

Description

 

 

 

 

Device Name

By default, the device name is the device type plus the MAC Address. Honeywell

 

recommends, for security, that you change the device name.

 

 

 

 

MAC Address

The MAC address is a factory-assigned address that is unique for each device.

 

 

 

 

IP Address

The IP address of the device on the network.The camera obtains an IP address

 

by static or dynamic (automatic) means. There are two options: DHCP (dynamic),

 

assigned by the user, or APIPA (static), assigned by the network.

 

 

 

 

Subnet Mask

The subnet mask, or netmask, value of the device on the network. IP networks

 

can be divided into several smaller networks by subnetting. When a network is

 

subnetted, you must specify a subnet mask, which tells network devices which

 

smaller network they belong to.

 

Note If the subnet mask is not properly configured, the camera might not be

 

 

able to communicate with other devices on the network.

 

 

 

 

Default Gateway

The default gateway address that connects the device to the network. Enter the

 

host IP address to use as a gateway between networks. The gateway allows

 

communication between devices that are on different networks. Without a correct

 

gateway setting, the camera cannot receive or transmit data from or to devices

 

that are not in the same network address range.
