Camera and Network Adapter IP Configuration

5.1 Network Adapter IP Behavior
The two most common ways to set the IP configuration on network adapters are:
 as "Fixed Address"
 as "DHCP / Alternate Configuration = APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing)"
When an adapter is set for Fixed Address, it will simply use a fixed address that has been assigned
to the adapter by the user.
When an adapter is set for DHCP / Alternate Configuration = APIPA, it will do the following:
 It will first attempt to obtain an IP address from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
server. If a DHCP server is available, it will obtain an IP address from the server and use it.
 If no DHCP server is available, the adapter will use its alternate configuration. The alternate
configuration will be for the adapter to use the Automatic Private IP Address routine to assign
itself an IP address.
The default setting for most network adapters is DHCP / Alternate Configuration = APIPA. In most
cases, the adapter used with your cameras will not have a DHCP server available. So with the
default settings, the adapter will end up using automatic IP addressing to assign itself an IP
address.
For more information about the Automatic Private IP Address routine, see Section 5.3 on page 67.
Note
There is another adapter IP configuration available called "DHCP / Alternate
Configuration = Fixed Address", but this configuration is seldom used.
