2.2 Connecting the Camera to Your Network
The Network page offers three options to configure the camera.
• [Automatic Setup] automatically assigns an unused IP address to the camera,
and uses UPnP
TM
(Universal Plug and Play) to configure your router.
• [Static] allows the user to use a specific IP address.
• [DHCP] is offered for ISPs that require this option.
1. Click [Network] on the Setup page.
2. Click a connection mode.
• See below for details of each connection mode.
3. Enter each parameter in the relevant data field.
Automatic Setup
The camera automatically obtains the network settings (subnet mask, default
gateway and DNS server address) using the router's DHCP feature. The
camera also automatically searches for an unused IP address on your
network. If you select [Yes] for Allow Access from the Internet, the camera
automatically enables port forwarding using UPnP
TM
. In this case, the camera
automatically searches for an unused port number on your network in the
order of 80, then from 50000 to 50050.
• Clicking [Cancel] takes you back to the previous page without saving
changes.
