￿￿Setting the IP addresses

On the [SYSTEM] menu, select [CAM IP ADR], and display [IP:CAM1-100]. The IP addresses of the camera numbers can now be changed.

Even when “NoAsign” or “Serial” has been selected as the [CAM1] to [CAM100] setting of [CAMERA CTL] on the [SYSTEM] menu, the IP addresses can still be changed.

1.IP:CAM1 ▼

192.168.000.100

The IP addresses are set for all the camera numbers CAM1 to CAM100.

Initial values:

CAM1 (192.168.0.21)

￿

CAM100 (192.168.0.120)

￿ Memo ￿

If the unit’s IP address has been changed using the [IP ADDRESS] item of [NETWORK] on the [SYSTEM] menu, the IP addresses of the camera numbers which were set to “NoAsign” for the [CAM1] to [CAM100] item of [CAMERA CTL] on the [SYSTEM] menu and which are higher than the unit’s IP address, will be automatically re-set in the sequence of the camera numbers set to “NoAsign” starting with the lowest number.

When the IP addresses are changed, a check for IP address contention is conducted.

A check is carried out to verify whether there is any contention with the IP addresses of the camera numbers which were set to “NetWork” for the [CAM1] to [CAM100] item of [CAMERA CTL] on the [SYSTEM] menu.

If contention is found, the “Duplicate!” is displayed for three seconds, and the IP addresses cannot be set.
