9 Operational setup
9.1 Establishing initial communication with the unit
The factory settings for the IP address and subnet mask are 192.168.100.100 and
0.0.0.0 respectively.
Communication between the device and the client PC is only possible if both the
client PC and the device are located in the same network segment. There are two
possible methods of achieving this:
z Changing the IP address of the client PC.
See Section 9.1.1 Changing the IP address of the client PC.
z Mapping a network route.
See Section 9.1.2 Mapping a network route.
The service mode can be used to establish communication with the device if it is
no longer configured to use the factory-set IP address and the current IP address
is not known. See Section 11 Maintenance.
9.1.1 Changing the IP address of the client PC
NOTE
You must change the network settings of your client PC temporarily in order to perform the following
steps.
Therefore you should write down the original IP address and original subnet mask setting of your client
PC!
1. Open the network connections via the Windows Start Menu: Start > Settings
> Control panel > Network connections.
2. Right-click on the chosen connection and select Properties in the context
menu.
3. Select Internet protocol (TCP/IP) in the "Properties" dialog.
4. Click the Properties button.
5. Select the checkbox for Use the following IP address in the "TCP/IP
properties" dialog.
6. Enter 192.168.100.101 for the IP address and 255.255.255.0 for the subnet
mask.
7. Click OK.
8. Restart your client PC.
Î The client PC is now in the same network segment as the device.
9. You must now allocate the desired IP address to the unit via its home page.
See Section 10.3 Changing the device IP address.
10. If applicable, restore the IP address of the client PC to the original settings.
Repeat steps 1 to 7. When performing step 5, use your original client PC
settings.

Fire Safety & Security Products 04.2006
9.1.2 Mapping a network route
Mapping an appropriate network route informs the computer that it can reach IP
address 192.168.100.100 in its own network segment and does not need to use a
router.
Network routes can be set using the operating system "route" command. The exact
command syntax depends on the operating system used and may sometimes be
affected by the computer's hardware configuration. The following example is valid
for the Windows 2000 operating system:
First of all, enter the client PC IP address from which the device is to be accessed.
1. Open the command prompt dialog via the Windows Start Menu.
2. Type ipconfig and press the Enter key.
Î The IP address of the client PC is now displayed. In this example, we have
assumed IP address 10.11.12.13.
3. Type route add 192.168.100.0 mask 255.255.255.0 10.11.12.13 and press
the Enter key.
Î A network route will be established that ensures device accessibility.
Note that you should enter the IP address of your own client PC instead of
10.11.12.13.
4. Check that there is communication with the device by typing ping
192.168.100.100.
5. You must now allocate the desired IP address to the unit via its home page.
See Section 10.3.1 Changing the device IP address via the device home
page.
9.2 Checking device accessibility
Your unit is accessed in the network via its IP address. The IP address is either
preset at the factory (IP address 192.168.100.100) or set by you when allocating a
new IP address to your device.
See Section 10.3 Changing the device IP address.
Type the following command in the your client PC's command prompt window:
1. ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
z xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx = 192.168.100.100
if the IP address set by the factory is used
z xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx = the IP address you have allocated to the device;
e.g. 141.73.31.3.
2. Press the Enter key.

Siemens Building Technologies
Fire Safety & Security Products 04.2006
10 Configuration
10.1 Establishing access to the device via Internet
If it is necessary to be able to access your unit via the Internet, you must ensure
that your IP address is Internet-enabled. An Internet Service Provider (ISP) can
supply you with an Internet-enabled IP address. The ISP will offer you static or
dynamic IP addresses.
Fig. 5 Connecting to Internet
z Static IP address
The ISP will supply you with an IP address only once. This address does not
change.
z Dynamic IP address
Shared IP addresses are normally used when accessing the Internet through an
ISP. Your router will be allocated dynamic IP addresses for Internet access by
your ISP, i.e. when dialing in via an ISP, the client (the computer attempting to
make the connection) will automatically be assigned a temporary, free IP
address when logging on. This means that the client acts as an Internet server
for the time it is online.
The term 'dynamic' means that the connection to the ISP will be broken off
briefly at regular intervals, for example every 24 hours. When the connection is
re-established, your IP address may have changed. When the connection is
terminated, this IP address becomes available for use by another device and is
allocated to another connection that is established via the ISP. When the
connection is interrupted, the newly allocated IP address must be assigned to
your domain name, e.g. <www.myWebCam.de> , so that your device can still be
accessed using your domain name.

10.1.1 Example of access using a dynamic IP address
Requirements:
z Your device is part of a local network (LAN) and is connected to the Internet by a
router, such as a TDSL router.
z An ISP (Internet Service Provider) has already allocated you an IP address.
z An ISP (Internet Service Provider) has already allocated you a domain name.
z You have assigned an IP address to your domain name via a DNS server.
10.1.2 Establishing access to the unit via Internet
1. Allocate a fixed IP address to your unit, e.g. 192.168.100.100. See
Section 10.3 Changing the device IP address.
2. Set the time and duration of the dynamic IP address change cycle used by the
ISP via the router.
3. Register your domain name with a Domain Name Server (DNS) e.g.
www.DynDns.org, so that the IP address can be assigned to the domain
name.
Î Each time the connection to the ISP is reestablished, your router will be
notified of the new IP address. The router must be configured to notify the
DNS of the new IP address as soon the router receives it.
Î If it is now attempted to establish a connection to your domain name,
www.myWebCam.de for example, the connection to your router will be built
up via your ISP. The router must be configured to pass all incoming requests
to the device.

10.3 Changing the device IP address
There are two ways of changing the device IP address:
z Changing the device IP address via the device home page.
z Changing the IP address using the Web-Cam IP Manager
If the current IP address setting is not known, communication with the device can
be re-established in the service mode.
See Section 11 Maintenance.
10.3.1 Changing the device IP address via the device home page
There are two methods of allocating a new IP address to the device using the
device home page:
z Automatic address allocation by the DHCP or BOOTP server
z Manual allocation of an IP address
Automatic address allocation by the DHCP or BOOTP server
1. Open the unit’s home page. See Section 7.4 Accessing the unit’s home page.
2. Select Network settings in the Configuration menu.
Î The Network settings dialog opens:
3. Select the Automatic network configuration (DHCP) checkbox
Î Each time the device is restarted, the DHCP or BOOTP server will
automatically reinstate the network settings (IP address, subnet mask and
gateway, if applicable).
4. Restart your IP camera.
See Section 10.8 Restarting the camera for more information.

Manual IP address and subnet mask allocation
1. Open the unit’s home page.
See Section 7.4 Accessing the unit’s home page.
2. Select Network settings in the Configuration menu.
Î The Network settings dialog opens:
3. Enter the unit’s IP address.
4. Enter the unit’s subnet mask.
5. Enter the gateway.
See Section 10.2 Configuring network settings.
6. Restart your IP camera.
See Section 10.8 Restarting the camera.
IP address:
Only one IP address may be assigned per unit.
We recommend using the ranges 192.168.x.x and 10.x.x.x when setting up new networks that do not
use the official Internet address space.
If the device is to be connected directly to the Internet, you must use an officially registered IP
address. This will be given to you by your ISP.
See Section 10.1 Establishing access to the device via Internet.
Subnet mask:
The subnet mask tells the device which other IP addresses in the connected network (subnet) can be
addressed directly and which addresses have to be accessed through the gateway. To indicate this,
the target IP address is logically linked to the network mask by an AND expression and the result
compared to the logical AND link between the device's own IP address and the network mask. If these
match, the target device is located in the same network segment. Many networks use 255.255.255.0
as the value for the network mask.
For example:
If you set the device IP address to, for example, 192.168.100.3 and the subnet
mask to 255.255.255.0, the device can be accessed by a client PC with IP address
192.168.100.162 (and subnet mask 255.255.255.0). The IP address of the client
PC and that of the device are both located in the same network segment.

10.3.2 Changing the IP address using the Web-Cam IP Manager
NOTE
You may only change the device IP address in the first 20 minutes after the unit has started.
This assumes that:
The Web-Cam IP Manager and all the devices are located in the same network
segment. If a device and the Web-Cam IP Manager are not located in the same
network segment, you must ensure that associated gateway (router) passes the
SSDP multicast messages sent by the Web-Cam IP Manager to the network
segment where the device is located.
– SSDP (Simple Service Discovery Protocol / network protocol)
1. Start the Web-Cam IP Manager by loading IP Manager.exe. This application
is found on the CD included with delivery.
Î The Web-Cam IP Manager program window will open:
2. Click the Start button.

11.1 Service mode
The service mode allows the device IP address to be reset even if the IP address
that is currently allocated to the device is not known.
If, for example, the Automatic Network Configuration (DHCP) option is activated
when communication with the device is first established, the device will
automatically be allocated an IP address by the DHCP server after each restart.
This address is not known prior to the event and can change each time a restart
takes place. Devices configured in this way can normally be accessed via the WebCam IP Manager. See Section 10.3 Changing the device IP address.
However, if you are unable to call up the device via the Web-Cam IP Manager (this
can occur when the gateway (router) fails to pass SSDP multicast messages to the
device), you will have no other means of accessing the device as the IP address is
not known. In this case, the IP address can be reset in the service mode.
11.1.1 Resetting the IP address
Requirements:
The IP camera must be connected to a port without PoE support and use an
external power supply. After maintenance the IP camera can be reconnected to a
PoE port.
The MAC address of the unit must be known.
1. The MAC address is printed on a sticker located on the unit.
2. Open the Command Prompt window on your PC.
– To do this, select Start > Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
3. Prepare the following command line to assign the desired IP address
permanently to the MAC address of the IP camera.
arp –s IP address MAC address
arp –s 192.168.1.100 00-d0-4a-00-10-01
Example:
The IP address assigned must be in the same network segment as the client
PC from which the assignment is made.
Client PC IP Camera
IP address
192.168.1.1 192.168.1.100
Subnet mask
255.255.255.0
255.255.255.0 (automatically
assigned in service mode)
MAC address
00-d0-4a-00-10-01
4. Remove the power supply cable from the unit.
5. Remove the network cable from the unit.
6. Reconnect the power supply cable to the unit.
Î The device will switch to service mode after 30 seconds.

Î
The service mode is indicated by a periodic blinking of the LED at the network
connection. As soon as the LED blinks at a rate of about once per second, the
unit is in service mode for 60 seconds.
7. Reconnect the network cable to the device.
8. Click the OK button or press the Enter key to execute the prepared command
line in the Command Prompt window.
See point 3 in this regard.
9. Check the IP address using the ping command (e.g. ping 192.168.1.100).
Successful assignment of the IP address setting is indicated when the ping
command shows that data packages are returning to the client PC.
Î An IP address allocated in this way will only remain valid until the next time
the device is restarted.
10. For this reason, you should now re-assign a permanent IP address to the
device via the device homepage. See Section 10.3.1 Changing the device IP
address via the device home page.
Î The permanent IP address will be applied only after the IP camera is
restarted. See Section 10.3.1 Changing the device IP address via the device
home page.
