3.2 First Images And The Most Important Settings
Once the camera has been connected to the network, you need to set up the camera's
network interface accordingly. This step involves setting up and checking the network
parameters of the camera. If your network is already using an IP address in the 10.x.x.x
range with a 255.0.0.0 network mask, you do not need to change the camera's network
parameters. You can access the camera directly (see Section 3.2.2). If your network or
computer does not use an IP address in the 10.x.x.x range (for example, in the 192 or
172 ranges), you should follow one of the following methods for changing the camera's
network parameters:
• Manual Setup (Section 3.2.1)
• Automatic Setup using MxControlCenter or MxEasy (Sections 3.2.3 and 3.2.4)
Note
For the following examples, we will use a camera with the factory address 10.8.0.99.
Replace this IP address with the IP address of your camera. You will find this address
on a small sticker on the camera. Make sure that the IP addresses used in the
following examples are not already being used by other devices in the network.
3.2.1 Manually Setting Up The Network Parameters In A Browser
In order to manually set up the network parameters of the MOBOTIX camera, you need a
computer that is using a 10.x.x.x IP address. The computer's network parameters usually
have to be changed for this purpose.
1. Change The Network Parameters Of Your Computer:
Windows (2000, XP, and Vista):
1. Open Start > Settings > Control Panel > Network
Connections. Clicking Properties opens the dialog
shown.
2. Double-click on Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). On the
General tab, activate the
Use the following IP address
option. Enter an IP address in the 10.x.x.x range in
this field (for example, 10.8.0.11).
3. Once all dialogs have been closed, the computer
will have the IP address 10.8.0.11.
Pressing the “L” key
(see Section 2.7.6) with
the magnetic side of the
custom tool will prompt
the camera to announce
its current IP address
on the camera speaker.
