Illustra Pro Series Installation and Configuration Guide

Network Connection

Default IP Address

Since this is a network-based unit, an IP address must be assigned at the very first bootup. The
default IP address of the unit is 192.168.1.168 and sub mask is 255.255.255.0.

However, if you have a DHCP server in your network, the unit obtains an IP address automatically
from the DHCP server so that you do not need to change the IP address of the camera.

Note:If you assign the camera a Static IP address prior to DHCP being enabled, the camera first
reboots for approximately 30 seconds and then remains accessible at its Static IP until it connects to
a DHCP server.

• Connect to a PC directly: Directly connect the camera to a PC using a standard Ethernet
cable. This requires POE switch or injector.

• Connecting a camera to a Local Area Network (LAN): To add the camera to an existing
LAN, connect the camera to the POE hub or switch on your network.

Procedure 7 Connecting from a computer

Step Action

1 Ensure the camera and your computer are in the same subnet.

2 Check whether if the network is available between the unit and the computer by pinging the

default IP address.

a Start a command prompt.

b Type “Ping 192.168.1.168”. If the message “Reply from…” appears, it means the con-

nection is available.

3 Start Internet Explorer and enter IP address: 192.168.1.168. A login window appears. In the

window, enter the default user name: admin and password: admin to log in.

- End -

DHCP

On initial camera startup, and after a hardware factory reset, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) is enabled by default and remains enabled until the camera receives either a DHCP address
or is assigned a Static IP address.

is made to a DHCP server within two minutes, the camera goes to the default IP address

192.168.1.168, but continues to search for a DHCP address.

Note:If you assign the camera a Static IP address prior to DHCP being enabled, the camera first
reboots for approximately 30 seconds and then remains accessible at its Static IP until it connects to
a DHCP server.

- End -

Procedure 9 Disable DHCP

Step Action

1 Select Setup on the Web User Interface banner to display the setup menus.

Configuration

The following sections explain the how you can configure Illustra Pro cameras using the Web User
Interface.

Security Mode Profiles for First Time Connection

The Illustra Pro cameras have features that allow for operation in a Standard Security mode or in an
Enhanced Security mode.

The Enhanced Security mode of operation is used to control changes to the camera communication
protocols HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and SMTP. When the camera is in Enhanced Security mode, you
require a complex seven character Administrator password to make changes to these protocols.

Refer to Summary of Security Modes on page 24 for further information regarding the differences
between Standard and Enhanced Security modes.

TCP/IP

Configure the IPv4 and IPv6 network settings on the camera.

Note:When you perform a factory reset or reboot the unit searches for the last known IP address. If
this is not available it reverts to the default IP address of 192.168.1.168. This could result duplicate
IP addresses. Refer to Quick Start Menu on page 28 for more information.

DHCP

On initial camera startup, and after a hardware factory reset, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) is enabled by default and remains enabled until the camera receives either a DHCP address
or is assigned a Static IP address.

is made to a DHCP server within two minutes, the camera goes to the default IP address

192.168.1.168, but continues to search for a DHCP address.

Note:If you assign the camera a Static IP address prior to DHCP being enabled, the camera first
reboots for approximately 30 seconds and then remains accessible at its Static IP until it connects to
a DHCP server.
