ASSIGNING IP ADDRESS & ACCESSING THE WIRELESS NETWORK IP CAMERA HOME PAGE

Assigning an IP Address

To access the Wireless Network IP Camera, you need to assign an appropriate network IP address.

IMPORTANT

• Please use the newly assigned IP address, do NOT use any occupied IP address, the default, or the example IP address.

• It is highly recommended that you assign an IP address before placing the Wireless Network IP

Camera in a remote location or network.

• Network IP Address:

A network IP address is an identification code for computers or devices on a TCP/IP network. Networks using TCP/IP protocol route messages based on the IP address of the destinations within a closed Network. IP addresses can be assigned at random as long as each one is unique. However, connecting a private network to the Internet requires using registered, public IP address to avoid duplicates. IP address can be acquired from a network administrator or an Internet service provider.

• MAC (Media Access Control) Address (Ethernet)

MAC address is a hardware identification code that uniquely identifies each device of a network. The MAC layer interfaces directly with the network media. Consequently, each type of network media requires a different MAC layer. The MAC address of Wireless Network IP Camera is a 12digit number. A unique MAC address can be found on the label on the bottom of each Network IP Camera.

NOTE

Please run the IP address installation program (IP Installer.exe) on a PC that is connected to the same local network as the Wireless Network IP Camera.

WIRELESS NETWORK IP CAMERA User’s Guide

all “admin”) to assign (or change) the IP Address for the Wireless Network IP Camera..

Enter the IP address, Gateway address, Subnet Mask address, and DNS Server address that are assigned from network administrator. (When the addresses are not assigned properly, you cannot access the Wireless Network IP Camera).

The Server IP Address represents an IP address of a PC that runs a TFTP Server which is being used to upgrade the firmware of the Wireless Network IP Camera via Hyperterminal. This upgrade method is designed for engineers. Therefore, the Server IP Address field can normally be left blank.

WIRELESS NETWORK IP CAMERA User’s Guide

After entering all addresses for the Wireless Network IP Camera, click the “Change Network Configurations” button.

The following message is displayed once all the information is set up properly. Click OK.

NOTE

After changing the Network Configuration, it will take about 15 seconds to reboot the Wireless Network IP Camera.. After that y ou may access the Wireless Network IP Camera Home Page.

WIRELESS NETWORK IP CAMERA User’s Guide

Assigning IP Address by using Hyper Terminal (Advanced Users only)

You can assign an IP address by using Hyper Terminal. In this case, you should configure Hyper Terminal first

Configuring Hyper Terminal

Hyper Terminal is a basic program for Windows 9x/NT/2000 and XP. A PC can communicate with external devices through the serial port by using this program. The steps you should take to set the Hyper Terminal are as follows in the case of Windows 2000 OS:

① Start Æ Programs Æ Accessories Æ

Communications Æ Hyper Terminal.

Select one of the icons and then enter an appropriate name in the box.

② Select a serial port of PC, then click the

“OK” button. (Usually COM1 or COM2 is

recommended).

WIRELESS NETWORK IP CAMERA User’s Guide

③ Configure bit/sec as 19,200 and leave the

other settings at the default values.

④ The panel looks like this image when

configured properly. (If it does not, repeat steps 1-4.)

WIRELESS NETWORK IP CAMERA User’s Guide

Assigning IP Address

Follow these steps to assign an IP address using Hyper Terminal

1. Execute “Hyper Terminal” on your PC

2. Connect an RS232 Cable to the serial port of the PC that you have selected in Chapter 4.3.1 Configuring Hyper Terminal and the Wireless Network IP Camera serial port while Hyper Terminal is executed.

Supply power to the Wireless Network IP Camera.

4. A count down will start with the message “Press any key to stop auto-boot.”

5. Press any key. “Boot” prompt should appear as below.

WIRELESS NETWORK IP CAMERA User’s Guide

6. You can see Network Configuration while [Boot] prompt is running by pressing ‘p’ key again.

Here, inet on ethernet (e), host inet (h) and gateway inet (g) values are network configuration values. You should change these values in most cases. If you don’t know what values you should assign, contact the network administrator.

Inet on ethernet (e) is the IP address and Subnet Mask address of the Wireless Network IP Camera. IP address and Subnet Mask addresses are separated by colon (:). For example, IP address is represented by decimal numbers delimited by dots (.), e.g., ‘192.168.1.27’. Hexadecimal numbers, e.g., ‘ffffff00’ in the case of ‘255.255.255.0,’ represent the Subnet Mask address. Note that the numbers in the Subnet Mask value are not delimited by dots. See the example in the above picture.

Host inet (h) is the address to which Wireless Network IP Camera tries to connect to upgrade its firmware program in flash memory. The Wireless Network IP Camera first searches for this host on

the network on booting sequence. For more information on Wireless Network IP Camera upgrade, refer to “E. Updating Wireless Network IP Camera’s Newly Upgraded Program”.

Gateway inet (g) is the gateway address of the Network Camera

7. Type ‘c’ to change the network configuration in [Boot] prompt. If you type ‘c’,, the Wireless

Network IP Camera shows you the information you can change and the current assigned values. You can change as the following figure.

8. When y ou terminate the Hyper-Terminal program after changing the network configuration,

Hyper-Ter minal asks you whether to save the session. If you save the session, you can re-use the hyper-terminal. To re-use the sessio n you saved, click Start --> Programs --> Accessories -> Communications --> HyperTerminal --> Wireless Network IP Camera.. ht in the case of Windows 2000.

Accessing the Wireless Network IP Camera Home Page

After assigning the Wireless Network IP Camera an IP address, you may access Wireless Network IP Camera and monitor real-time images on the Internet. You may configure Wireless Network IP Camera within its own pages through any standard Web browser on a local or remote network.

Starting Web Browser

Start your web browser and enter your Wireless Network IP Camera’s IP address.

Default IP Address

Please note: 192.168.1.221 is the default IP Address of Network IP Camera. If you have change the IP address using IPINSTALLER.EXE (see above), you need to enter the new IP Address in your web browser.

This page is to enter the Wireless Network IP Camera’s built-in Home page. To access this page, you may be prompted to enter a user ID and password.

WIRELESS NETWORK IP CAMERA User’s Guide

1. ID and Password

If you key in a user ID and password, you can access the camera to monitor real-time video. With Administrator’s ID and password, you can access real-time video with Administrative authority. The default value of both user ID and password are “admin” and the administrator may change it at the Administrator Menu. Each ID and password must be composed of no more than 10 bytes (e.g., 10 English letters). For guest users, the Wireless Network IP Camera has default ID and password “guest”, but guests cannot access the administrator tools..

2. Behind Firewall

If your PC is connected on a network with a firewall, you may not view real time video properly because the video TCP port is blocked. If you are behind a firewall, you may view real-time video through the Wireless Network IP Camera’s Server Push Viewer that transmits video through the web’s TCP port instead of the video TCP port. By clicking on the “Behind Firewall” menu, you may directly connect to the Server Push Viewer when you access the Wireless Network IP Camera ho me page.

3. Active-X for MS Explorer Users

For all Microsoft Explorer users, the ActiveX Control program is required. The program will be installed automatically when a user accesses the Wireless Network IP Camera. For Active-X installation on your PC, just click ‘Yes’ to the question “Do you want to install the program?” on the pop-up window. If you cannot see images after installation, you should download and install Active-X manually.

The Active-X Installer may not show up, if the Security Settings on your PC are set too high. You need to allow the execution of Active-X scripts.

The Active-X Installer requires the user currently logged on to the system to have system administrator rights (Windows 2000 and Windows XP).
