Appendix D
Adapter Management
ITP 2.0 adds a new capability to manage a network adapter in order to
simplify the process of setting up your transmitter. Many users of older
versions had trouble performing a manual setup of their TCP/IP properties
especially in circumstances where the same adapter was used on a number
of networks - this system is designed to resolve those issues and reduce the
complexity of the initial setup. This task does a number of things, and this
appendix is designed to cover the details of what it is doing. Please note that
it is not necessary to understand this to make use of the system - it is simply
provided for advanced users to understand exactly what ITP is doing with
their system.
D.1 Virtual IP Address
The main task that ITP performs on the selected adapter is to add a virtual
IP address to the adapter whenever ITP is run. This is designed to simplify
the setup procedure by removing a setting that you would have otherwise had
to make manually. The system binds a second IP Address to the adapter,
thus allowing your existing setup to remain as it stands but adding a fixed
value for your camera to use. If you are using DHCP on your home network,
this system will not interfere with the automatic setup - thus your computer
will still automatically retrieve the necessary settings to connect to it, while
still maintaining fixed settings for use by your camera.
