Table C. Network Settings (Continued)

 

 

 

 

 

 

DHCP

off

 

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. When set to on, the

 

 

 

 

network DHCP server automatically assigns your computer

 

 

 

 

an IP address. When set to off, you must assign it yourself.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Base Port

25000

 

Enter a setting to designate which TCP/IP ports PelcoNet

 

 

 

 

uses for transmission, video, audio, and control. For

 

 

 

 

example, the default setting of 25000 means PelcoNet will

 

 

 

 

use TCP ports 25000-25001 and UDP ports 25002-25011

 

 

 

 

(12 ports total) for all video and control data.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mail server

none

 

Entry is only required if the mail-sending feature is to be

 

IP address

 

 

used. Outgoing e-mail is sent to the mail server (SMTP

 

 

 

 

server) at this IP address.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mail reply

none

 

Enter a name for the NET104A that lets the device be

 

address

 

 

easily identified. This is similar to the unit identification

 

 

 

 

Name field on the General Settings configuration page.

 

 

 

 

This field identifies the device from a distance. The name

 

 

 

 

helps when there are many PelcoNet units on the network.

 

 

 

 

The recipient of the e-mail can identify the e-mailÕs sender

 

 

 

 

by this entry.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Multicast

0.0.0.0

 

This is the Multicast IP Address. (Network hardwareÐ

 

Group IP

 

 

such as switches, hubs, routers, etc.Ðmust support the

 

 

 

 

multicasting protocol, ICMP.) This field sets PelcoNet to

 

 

 

 

use the multicasting protocol, which allows more efficient

 

 

 

 

use of bandwidth. The IP range is 224.0.1.0 through

 

 

 

 

238.255.255.255.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Time To Live

1

 

This setting specifies how many routers an information

 

(Multicast)

 

 

packet can go through before it expires.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Enable

Off

 

When set to On, this setting lets the PelcoNet unit support

 

Multilink H.323

 

 

five simultaneous live video connections.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Enable

Off

 

This setting, in conjunction with the Multicast Group IP and

 

Multicast

 

 

Enable Multilink H.323 settings, can allow an unlimited

 

Streaming

 

 

number of live video connections. The Enable Multilink

 

 

 

 

H.323 field, as well as this field, must both be set On for

 

 

 

 

this to work.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Multicast

60000

 

This setting designates the TCP/IP port PelcoNet uses for

 

Video port

 

 

video when using the multicasting protocol.
