Preface
By using this software, the following settings of the digital disk recorder WJ-ND300 can be configured on a PC via a
network.
• Network settings
• Registration of cameras, and deletion/edit of the registered cameras
IP addresses of the cameras connected to the WJ-ND300 can be automatically assigned with this software.
When using multiple network disk recorders, it is necessary to configure the above settings independently.
This software works only when the software version of the WJ-ND300 is 3.00 or later.
When failed to configure the above settings with this software, configure them using the setup menu of the WJND300. To configure the settings of the connected cameras, use the setup software of the cameras.
Refer to the setup instructions (PDF) of the WJ-ND300 or the operating instructions of the camera for further information.
System Configuration
To configure the settings with this software, connect the PC in which this software is installed to the client PC port of
the WJ-ND300 and the camera to the camera port of the WJ-ND300. When the camera is connected to the client PC
port, it is impossible to detect and configure the camera.
Important:
• This software is inoperable in a different subnet over a router.
• The WJ-ND300 can be detected and configured using this software. However, for enhancing security, this soft-
ware will not detect the WJ-ND300 when 20 minutes have passed after the power is turned on once the default
settings are changed.
To detect the WJ-ND300 after the settings have been changed, click the [Available] button of "IP Setup Tool" on
the "NW Camera Setup" page (under the "Camera" page of the WJ-ND300 setup menu). Refer to the setup
instructions (PDF) of the WJ-ND300 for further information.
• Depending on the model of camera, this software will not detect it when 20 minutes have passed after the power
is turned on once the default settings are changed. Refer to the operating instructions of the camera in use for
further information.

Tip
Problem
• It may take time for the camera to obtain the IP address. Wait for a
while and display IP address by executing search.
Registration of the camera (registration of IP address, etc.) in the
recorder is necessary after displaying the IP address.
• When the camera is already registered, the model number of the camera or the HTTP port number may be incorrect. When the user authentication of the camera is "ON", it is necessary to register the user
name/password on the "Camera" page of the recorder. Check and edit
the settings.
Page 22

• Is the connection indicator of the 100BASE-Tx port
lit? When it is not lit, connection to a LAN is not
established or a network is not working correctly.
Confirm that the connection indicator of the
100BASE-Tx port is lit. Refer to a system administrator if it is not lit.
• Is the Ethernet cable firmly connected to the
100BASE-Tx port?
Confirm the cable is firmly connected.
• Is the hub installed between the recorder and a network applicable for 100 Mbps?
When the hub is not applicable for 100 Mbps, the
recorder may not be detected correctly.
• Has 20 minutes passed after the default settings of
the recorder such as IP address had been changed?
The recorder can be detected only 20 minutes after
changing the default settings.
To detect the recorder after the settings have been
changed, click the [Available] button of "IP Setup
Tool" on the "NW Camera Setup" page (under the
"Camera" page of the WJ-ND300 setup menu. The
recorder can be detected only for 20 minutes.
