Appendix H Troubleshooting & FAQ Question: Should I use a gigabit network switch or a 10/100 MPBS network switch for connecting to the Aid series? Answer: It is highly recommended to use a gigabit RJ-45 port for connecting to the Aid series. You can still use 10/100 MBPS ports from a switch for connecting AiP cameras.
Question: Does the AiD series provide unicode (multi-nation) support for camera names? Answer: Yes, the AiD series provides unicode for camera names. To do so, login to Aid series settings via a browser and open Camera Name section. Here you can edit your unicode camera name. Question: What are the error codes and how do I solve the connection problem? Error code: IP LOSS Explanation: The AiP camera is not on the network. Solution: Check the RJ-45 connection and IP address for the camera.
