3.3.4 The First Image in MxEasy
Installing MxEasy
If you have an MxEasy installation CD, insert it into your computer
drive. The wizard will guide you through the installation process. If this is
not the case or if you would like to update to a newer version, you can
download the latest MxEasy version for your operating system from the
MOBOTIX website. MxEasy will be available from Q4/2008 at www.mobotix.com
> Support> Software Downloads in the MxEasy section.
Using MxEasy for the First Time
Double-click on the shortcut created by the installer (see the previous section
Installing MxEasy ) or on the program file itself to start MxEasy.
Automated Search for MOBOTIX Cameras
If you start MxEasy for the first time on a computer, the Camera Selection dialog
will appear, showing all
detected MOBOTIX cameras.
The camera list will be updated
automatically if new cameras
are connected to or removed
from the network.
MxEasy also automatically
monitors and displays the oper-
ating status of all cameras.
Cameras that are not on the
same subnet as the computer
will get a differently colored icon
than the cameras that are on
the same subnet. Likewise, the cameras that have an unknown password or for
which no user name/password combination has been specified in MxEasy will get
a differently colored icon.
If the desired MOBOTIX cameras are highlighted as
OK in the video source list,
proceed to the
Selecting Cameras section further below. Cameras that have an
Different subnet icon can be reconfigured for the "proper" subnet as described in
the following section.
Configuring MOBOTIX Cameras for a Different Network
Using Bonjour, MxEasy finds not only cameras on the same subnet (network
range), but also MOBOTIX cameras located in other subnets (status
Different
subnet
). In such a case, you would not be able to establish any connection to cam-
eras in a different network or subnet (without going into much further detail about
the specific details of TCP/IP network configurations). This is possible, for example,
