Manual way with existing programs
For those environments such as MAC, Linux, Unix or other operating systems, whose
installer is not yet available, some common network tools including ARP and PING can be
used to install Network Camera. Before proceeding further, make sure ARP and PING
programs exist.
First, type arp –s “assigned IP address” “Ethernet address” to add an entity in the
system’s name table. The Ethernet address is identical to the serial number of Network
Camera and should be typed in the appropriate format like “uu-vv-ww-xx-yy-zz” or
“uu:vv:ww:xx:yy:zz”, which depends on the operating system.
Once the name entity is added, type ping "assigned IP address” to invite the new
Network Camera. If it replies, that means Network Camera has accepted the assigned IP
address and is ready for access. The first several ping requests may fail during the
self-configuration period of Network Camera. Since the accurate grammar of ARP and
PING depends on the operating system, refer to its related help manual.
