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 the

ROM (see page 9)
Using the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)
commands (see page 61)

camera using the supplied setup program and how to
configure the network.
