Network settings
Any change made to this page will make the system restart to validate. Make sure
every field is correctly typed before clicking on

"Reset IP address at next boot", the default status is checked to eliminate
incautious mistakes during installation. However it is very annoying to perform
software installation whenever Network C amera starts. Once the network settings,
especially the IP address, are correct, uncheck this option to use permanently. This
option can also be disabled using the Installer program. Once the option is disabled,
Network Camera will skip installation at the next boot and the Installer program will no
longer find the installed units. That implies that Network Camera cannot be accessed if
no one remembers the IP address, except by restoring factory default settings.
However, with this option disabled Network Camera can automatically operate
normally after restarting in case of losing power.
General
“IP address”, it is necessary for network identification.
“Subnet mask”, it is used to determine if the destination is in the same subnet. The
default value is “255.255.255.0”.
“Default router”, it is the gateway used to forward frames to destinations in different
subnet. Invalid router setting will fail in transmission to destinations in different
subnet.
“Primary DNS”, primary domain name server who translates names to IP addresses.
“Secondary DNS”, secondary domain name server to backup the primary one.
HTTP
“Http port”, it can be other than default port 80. Once the port is changed, users must
be informed for successful connection. For instance, when the administrator changes
the HTTP port of Network Camera whose IP address is 192.168.0.100 from 80 to 8080,
