Configuring MOBOTIX Cameras for a Different Network
Using Bonjour, MxControlCenter finds not only cameras on the same subnet (net-
work range) but also MOBOTIX cameras located in other subnets (status:
Diffe-
rent subnet
). Normally, you would not be able to establish any connection to came-
ras in a different network or subnet (without going into much further detail about
the complicated details of TCP/IP network configurations). This is possible, for
example, when a camera with a factory IP address is connected to a network in
which a DHCP server automatically assigns the IP addresses.
Click on
Configure network
in the context menu and MxControlCenter will auto-
matically reconfigure this camera so that it is "integrated" into your existing sub-
net. However, MxControlCenter first needs some information about the subnet into
which the camera will be integrated. You can enter this information in the Confi-
gure Cameras dialog that opens automatically.
If your computer gets its IP
address automatically from a
DHCP server, then this is certain-
ly the best choice for the new
camera and most likely for all
other cameras which have been
found in a different subnet
(Apply to all inaccessible ca-
meras checkbox).
If you have assigned a fixed IP
address to your computer, you
will certainly prefer to assign fi-
xed IP addresses (issued by your system administrator) to every camera. In most
cases, you should enter a similar configuration as the one found for your compu-
ter's Network Connections in the Properties of Internet protocol (TCP/IP) dialog.
