70 en | Configuring the IP AutoDome VG4 Modular Camera System
F.01U.133.268 | 6.0 | 2010.03 User’s Manual Bosch Security Systems, Inc.
10.2 Basic Mode: Date/Time
Device date/Device time/Device time zone
If there are multiple devices operating in your system or network, it is important to
synchronize their internal clocks. For example, it is only possible to identify and correctly
evaluate simultaneous recordings when all units are operating on the same time. If necessary,
you can synchronize the unit with your computer's system settings.
Click the Sync to PC button to copy your computer's system time to the IP AutoDome.
Time server IP address
The IP AutoDome can receive the time signal from a time server using various time server
protocols, and then use it to set the internal clock. The unit polls the time signal automatically
once every minute.
Enter the IP address of a time server here.
Time server type
Select the protocol that is supported by the selected time server. Preferably, you should
select the SNTP server as the protocol. This supports a high level of accuracy and is required
for special applications and subsequent function extensions.
Select Time server for a time server that works with the protocol RFC 868.
10.3 Basic Mode: Network
The settings on this page are used to integrate the IP AutoDome into an existing network.
Some changes only take effect after the unit is rebooted. In this case, the Set button changes
to Set and Reboot.
1. Make the desired changes.
2. Click the Set and Reboot button. The IP AutoDome is rebooted and the changed settings
are activated.
DHCP
If a DHCP server is employed in the network for the dynamic assignment of IP addresses, you
can activate acceptance of IP addresses automatically assigned to the IP AutoDome.
Certain applications (VIDOS, Bosch Video Management System, Archive Player, Configuration
Manager) use the IP address for the unique assignment of the unit. If you use these
applications, the DHCP server must support the fixed assignment between IP address and
MAC address, and must be appropriately set up so that, once an IP address is assigned, it is
retained each time the system is rebooted.
IP address
Enter the desired IP address for the IP AutoDome in this field. The IP address must be valid
for the network.
Subnet mask
Enter the appropriate subnet mask for the selected IP address here.
Gateway address
If you want the unit to establish a connection to a remote location in a different subnet, enter
the IP address of the gateway here. Otherwise leave the box blank (0.0.0.0).
CAUTION!
If you change the IP address, subnet mask or gateway address, the IP AutoDome is only
available under the new addresses after the reboot.
