Important:

Always configure the network settings for the ports using different subnet mask areas. Using the same subnet mask area may result in improper network communication.

Note:

Settings are not required when the PC network environment is as shown below. You can configure recorder settings and perform operations from a web browser after connecting.

IP address

: 192.168.1.2 to 249, 192.168.1.251 to 254

Subnet mask

: 255.255.255.0

Gateway

: 192.168.1.1

In an environment with other settings than those shown above, you will need to configure the network settings of the recorder or PC.

For camera network settings, call up the Camera setup menu. Refer to "NW camera (page 48)" for details about the settings.
