heck the connection state of LAN cable or whether you are using a cable that meets the specifications.

(?) Why is it possible to control the camera by this setting-up only?

Default IP address for AW-XXXX is (192.168.0.10).

Meanwhile, the camera IP address table (CAM IP ADR) /CAM1 provided for AW-RP50 in advance is set to

(192.168.0.10).

So, when the connection method for [1] CAM1 is set to [Network], AW-RP50 recognizes the camera as CAM1.

* When AW-XXXX with its IP address set to （192.168.0.11） is connected via IP connection, if the

Connection setting for [CAM IP ADR]/CAM2 is changed to [Network], this AW-XXXX is recognized as CAM2.

3. Turn AW-XXXX on.

(How to switch over to POWER ON mode (power ON) on AW-XXXX connected to CAM1)

· Hold down LED button 1 at CAMERA STATUS/SELECTION. – (Fig. 3-A)

* While the button is held down, the selected camera and its power status will be displayed on the LCD

screen.

– (Fig. 4)

· Keeping the button held down, turn F2 dial to select “ON”. Then press F2 dial to determine it. – (Fig. 3-B)

* By this operation, AW-XXXX will be switched over to POWER ON mode after its default setting motion.

(The status lamp will light up in green and the LED on AW-RP50 will also light up in green.)

* When performing the same procedure from POWER ON mode, if [POWER: OFF] is selected, AW-XXXX will be

switched over to STANDBY mode.

controller.

1. Connect AW-RP50 LAN port and the hub using a Category 5 or higher straight cable.

2. Connect AW-XXXX LAN port and the hub using a LAN cable. (AW-XXXX can automatically recognize

whether it is a cross or straight cable.)

* LAN Cable: Category 5 or higher, Up to 100m (Category 5e or higher if connected via a PoE+ compatible hub)

3. By [1] CAMERA CTL setting, select [No Asign] for a CAMERA No. you want to assign.

★ AW-RP50 will automatically assign IP addresses to the tables with their connection method set to [No Asign] in

ascending order of camera’s MAC address.

* MAC address of AW-XXXX can be checked using EASY IP Setup Software (*1) only.

(*1) “EASY IP Setup Software”

This software can be downloaded from CD-ROM that comes with AW-XXXX or the following website.
