General Network Settings
The General Network page includes programmable and read-only fields for network communication
settings. Available settings include the Hardware Address, Hostname, IP Address, Subnet Mask,
Gateway, and DNS Servers.
You can also enable or disable the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server from the
General Network page. DHCP automatically assigns an IP address to the device if there is a DHCP server
on the network. If DHCP is set to On, the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS server settings are
read-only text. If DHCP is set to Off, these settings must be manually changed. The default camera
setting for DHCP is On.
Refer to the following sections for more information:
• Changing the Hostname, page 3-10
• Turning On DHCP, page 3-10
• Turning Off DHCP, page 3-11
