1. DHCP
The Meridian Server can act as its own DHCP server. By selecting YES, the Meridian will automatically set
IP addresses for cameras and client workstations that are connected to the VIDEO network.
Notes:
i. The DHCP Server is configured to act ONLY on the VIDEO NIC.
ii. If DHCP is chosen, it is recommended to have all cameras attached to the switch and powered up
prior to completing the Wizard.
DHCP can change network addresses of devices on the network. If DHCP is in use, the user must take
care that the Video network remains isolated from the user's Corporate network.
2. Setting up Network IP Address
The Video NIC of the Meridian Server is already set with a default IP address 192.168.50.10.
If you want to change it, enter the IP address and Subnet mask in the corresponding fields.
Note: If the Meridian server is being launched in a staging environment, please set up the IP address and
Subnet mask that will be used at the customer site.
