￿￿When introducing additional remote cameras or a switcher into an environment where similar existing devices are already in use

Even when additional remote cameras or switchers are introduced into an environment where similar existing devices are already in use, the settings can be easily established using “Auto IP setting”.

The operating procedure is the same as for “When setting the IP addresses for the first time”. Refer to this section. The settings can also be established without changing the network settings (IP address, subnet mask and default gateway settings) of the additional remote cameras and switcher which will be introduced.

Refer to “When leaving the network settings of the additional devices to be introduced unchanged”.

When leaving the network settings of the additional devices to be introduced unchanged

1Connect the additional remote cameras and the switcher to be introduced and the unit to the network within the same subnet.

2 On the [SYSTEM] menu, select [AUTO SET

IP], and display [AUTO SETUP]. Then select “KEEP”, and press the F2 dial.

1.AUTO SETUP KEEP

The total number of all the remote cameras and switchers as well as the total number of the remote cameras and switchers scheduled to be added, which are the target of “Auto IP setting”, are displayed.

C:20/50 S:1/1

YES

C:20/50

Number of units connected within the same network

Remote cameras and switchers scheduled to be added

C: Remote camera, S: Switcher

When the total number of remote cameras and switchers scheduled to be added exceeds the total number of units which can be registered (remote cameras: 100 units; switchers: 1 unit), the [C/S OVER!] message appears on the bottom line of the LCD panel. Auto IP setting can still be initiated this state, but the IP addresses will be set only for the number of units which can be registered.

C:20/20 S:1/1

C/S OVER! YES

￿ Memo ￿

The camera numbers whose IP addresses have been set using “Auto IP setting” will be set to “NetWork” for their connection setting. Consequently, when “Auto IP setting” is next initiated, these camera numbers will be excluded from being targeted by the setting.

However, when the IP addresses of camera numbers whose IP addresses were set using “Auto IP setting” have been changed or the connection setting has been changed to “NoAsign” or “Serial”, they will again be targeted by “Auto IP setting”.
