Preparations (Step 2 Setting the Network)

2-3 Setting the IP Address for VN-C10 with V.Networks Setup Tool

Set the IP address for VN-C10 by using the installed [V.Networks Setup Tool]. (With this [V.Networks Setup tool] only VN-C10, not other models, can be connected.)

Caution

After the power for VN-C10 is turned on, there will be about 20 seconds until VN-C10 be- comes ready to be connected with the PC. This is not a defect.

At the factory, DHCP is set enabled for VN-C10.

About the DHCP function

JVC does not recommend operating VN-C10 with this function enabled because a different IP address may be assigned upon the renewal of the leasing contract. The DHCP function of VN-C10 is designed for simplifying the installation and setting procedures.

Note

For connecting VN-C10 with the factory settings, either one of the environments described below is required.

Environment where no DHCP server exists.

Environment where a DHCP server exists, which clearly defines the allotted IP address and MAC address.

1.Select [Start], [Programs], [V.NETWORKS] and then [vn-c10u Setup Tool] to start up [V.Networks Setup Tool].

Enter the IP address of the camera to be connected to [Connection IP Address]. The IP address is set to 192.168.0.2 at the factory.

Click .

Note

Click [Search] to see the IP address of the connected camera.

The [V.Networks Search] screen is dis- played.

To start search, click [Search]. [V.Networks IP Address List] is dis- played.

[TimeOut] is for setting the time for searching (0 to 30 seconds).

If no IP address is displayed by searching, change the value to a longer one and then search again.

If [V.Networks] on LAN has a different subnet from that of the PC, connection cannot be established even if the IP address of the camera can be searched and found. Reconnect the camera after changing the IP address of the PC accordingly.
