IV. Assigning IP Address and Configuring the Administrator’s Data

* Important *

To access a VersaCam, you first have to assign an appropriate IP address. When you assign an IP address to a VersaCam, make sure to use an unassigned IP address – do not use the default or example IP address.

Terminology

IP Address

An IP address is an identification code for computers and devices on a TCP/IP network. Networks using TCP/IP protocol route messages based upon the IP address of the destination. Within a closed network, IP addresses can be assigned at random as long as each one is unique. However, connecting a private network to the Internet requires using registered IP addresses to avoid duplicates. An IP address can be acquired from a network administrator or an Internet service provider.

MAC Address (Media Access Control Address)

A MAC address is a hardware identification code that uniquely identifies each node of a network. The MAC address of VersaCam is a 12-digit number. A unique MAC address can be found on the label at the bottom of each VersaCam.

Crossover Cable

The crossover cable (red) provided with the VersaCam is used to connect the VersaCam directly to a PC. A hub is not necessary to connect the VersaCam to a PC if a crossover cable is used.

Direct Cable

The direct cable (white) should be used if a hub is used as an intermediary between the VersaCam and a PC.

10-Base T

This describes the speed and cabling used to make 10-Megabit/second Ethernet connections. The camera cannot be directly connected to a network that allows only 100-Base T connections.
