￿￿Setting the IP addresses automatically (auto IP setting)

When “Auto IP setting” is initiated, the IP addresses are set automatically for the remote cameras and the switcher which are connected within the same subnet.

The IP addresses can be set for up to 100 remote cameras and one switcher.

Note

Contention in the IP addresses may arise when a device other than a remote camera or switcher has been connected within the same subnet.

Connect only devices which are covered by the “Auto IP setting” within the same subnet.

￿￿When setting the IP addresses for the first time

The IP addresses are set while the remote cameras, switcher and unit are at their factory settings.
