Preparation
The Preparation section explains what the administrator
has to prepare for monitoring images after installation
and connection of the camera.
Assigning the IP
Address to the Camera
To connect the camera to a network, you need to assign
a new IP address to the camera when you install it for the
first time.
You can assign an IP address in two ways:
• Using SNC toolbox stored in the supplied CD-ROM
(see this page)
• Using the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)
commands (see page 89)
This section explains how to assign an IP address to the
camera using the SNC toolbox and how to configure the
network.
Before starting, connect the camera, referring to
“Connecting the Camera to a Local Network” in the
supplied Installation Manual.
Consult the administrator of the network about the
assigned IP address.
Notes
• SNC toolbox may not operate correctly if you use a
personal firewall or antivirus software in your
computer. In that case, disable the software or assign
an IP address to the camera using another method. For
example, see “Assigning the IP Address to the Camera
Using ARP Commands” on page 89.
• If you are using Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later,
Windows Vista or Windows 7, disable the Windows
Firewall function; otherwise, SNC toolbox will not
operate correctly. For the setting, see “Configuring
Windows Firewall” in “When using Windows XP
Service Pack 2 or later” on page 9, “Configuring
Windows Firewall” in “When using Windows Vista”
on page 11, or “Configuring Windows Firewall” in
“When using Windows 7” on page 14.
