If you are installing NetCam on a company network, you will probably want to get this information from your system administrator.

The easiest way to configure NetCam manually is to connect NetCam to a serial port on your computer. Plug one end of the null modem serial cable into the S1 port on the back of NetCam and the other end into an available 9-pin serial port on the back of your computer. Use the included StarDot Tools software to configure NetCam.

If you don’t have a serial port or are using a non-Windows machine, you have a few options.

If NetCam is connected to a network with a DHCP server and your computer is not running Windows, you can log into your router (or whatever is acting as your DHCP server) and view the DHCP clients table. NetCam will have the MAC address starting with 00:30:F4. Take note of the IP address and enter it in your web browser. Click on the configuration link, visit the network tab and assign NetCam a manual IP address (outside of the router’s DHCP range).

If NetCam is connected to a network without a DHCP server (IP addresses are not automatically assigned) and your computer is not running Windows, you’ll have to manually assign NetCam an IP address. This requires terminal emulation software and the included null serial cable. On a Macintosh or on a Windows computer without a serial port, you’ll need a USB RS-232 adapter.

To talk directly to NetCam via the included serial cable, set your terminal software to a bitrate of 38,400 (8/N/1). Log in with admin / admin and use the following commands to assign NetCam a temporary IP address. Once the IP has been assigned, browse to NetCam with a web browser and configure NetCam to have a permanent static IP address.

In the following example, NetCam is being assigned a temporary IP address of 192.168.0.2 via a terminal program connected to the S1 port on the back of NetCam:

ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.2

route add -net 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0

Remember, once you can reach NetCam via its temporary IP address, you’ll want to immediately assign it a permanent static IP address in the network configuration menu.
