Items Needing Confirmation

A LAN in some DS-L1 operating environments may have been set up in a way exclusive to that environment, so be sure to consult the network administrator in your organization before setting up a PC. This is necessary to avoid causing problems with the LAN.

Ask your network administrator to confirm the following points:

•Whether FTP can be used in the LAN (only if you wish to use the FTP function)

•Whether image files can be transferred across in the LAN

•How IP addresses are managed (if you wish to use a fixed IP address, whether its use is permitted, or, if you wish to have IP addresses, etc., automatically acquired, whether a DHCP server is available)

NOTE: When a fixed IP address is acquired, a subnet mask and a gateway address are also acquired. Note, however, that when you apply for an IP address, you may be requested to supply the MAC address of your product. The MAC address is shown in the lower right corner of the Network Settings screen of the SETUP menu.

In automatic IP address acquisition by DHCP, the assigned IP addresses change dynamically. Accordingly, if you are using a web browser to access the DS-L1 from a PC, we recommend setting a fixed IP address for the DS-L1.

•OS of the PC used for the FTP server and installation of an FTP server

If images are to be saved in an FTP server from the DS-L1, you need to have a PC with FTP server functions installed.

Make sure that the PC used for an FTP server is running one of the supported OSs listed below.

Supported OS:

Windows NT Windows 2000 Windows XP Professional Mac OS X

If you are using Windows NT, 2000, or XP Professional, you must have the components for FTP server functions installed. Check to see if those components are installed in your computer.
