4. Configuring your Camera
4-1 Preparation before IP Assignment:
Always consult your network administrator before assigning an IP address from your server. Make sure the NETCOMM NS4540 is powered on and correctly connected to the network. Obtain an IP address not used yet from your network administrator.
MAC Address: Each NETCOMM NS4540 has a unique Ethernet address (MAC address) shown on the bottom of the NETCOMM NS4540 as the serial number (S/N) with 12 digits (e.g.
4-2 Assign IP Address by ARP Command
Note before IP assignment:
■Make sure the NETCOMM NS4540 is powered on and connected to the network correctly.
■Obtain a unique IP address from your network administrator.
■Each NETCOMM NS4540 has a unique Ethernet address (MAC address), which is recorded as a 12 digit serial number labeled at the base of NETCOMM NS4540 (e.g. 000429xxxxxx).
■Following examples use a PC with an IP address 192.168.0.1, the NETCOMM NS4540 will be given an IP address 192.168.0.200 whose MAC address is 000429000150. Always consult your network administrator before assigning an IP address.
■The IP address assigned to the NETCOMM NS4540 shall be the same IP domain (pre- sented as same subnet mask) as the PC IP address. In our case, a PC IP address is 192.168.0.1 and the NETCOMM NS4540 is 192.168.0.200, so the subnet mask shall be 255.255.255.0. If a PC subnet mask is 255.255.255.128 or higher, then the domain can't cover 192.168.0.200, so the settings will not take effective.
■For speedy install and easy setting of the IP Address, NETCOMM Limited provides an IP Installer Wizard for you. Please install the application and see the user's manual for detailed description and usage.
