Assigning the IP Address to the Camera

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 112)
This section explains how to assign an IP address to the
camera using the supplied setup program 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 112.
• If you are using Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later,
or Windows Vista, 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 or “Configuring Windows
Firewall” in “When using Windows Vista” on
page 11.
