Network type

“LAN” & “PPPoE”
The default type is LAN. Select PPPoE if using ADSL
"Get IP address automatically" & “Use fixed IP address”
The default status is “Get IP address automatically”. This can be tedious having to perform
software installation whenever the Network Camera starts. Therefore, once the network settings,
especially the IP address, have been entered correctly, select “Use fixed IP address” then the
Network Camera will skip installation at the next boot. The Network Camera can automatically
restart and operate normally after a power outage. Users can run IP installer to check the IP
address assigned to the Network Camera if the IP address is forgotten or using the UPnP function
provided by the Network Camera (MS Windows XP provides UPnP function at My Network
Place). “IP address” This is necessary for network identification.
“Subnet mask” This is used to determine if the destination is in the same subnet. The default
value is “255.255.255.0”.
“Default router” This is the gateway used to forward frames to destinations in a different subnet.
Invalid router setting will fail the transmission to destinations in different subnet.
“Primary DNS” The primary domain name server that translates hostnames into IP addresses.
“Secondary DNS” Secondary domain name server that backups the Primary DNS.
“Enable UPnP presentation” Enable the UPnP camera short cut
“Enable UPnP port forwarding” Enable uPnP port forwarding
“PPPoE” If using the PPPoE interface , fill the following settings from ISP
