Assigning an IP address using SNC toolbox
Preparation
The Preparation section explains what the administrator
has to prepare for monitoring images after installation
and connection of the camera.
Assigning the IP Address to the Camera
To connect the camera to a network, you need to assign
a new IP address to the camera when you install it for the
first time.
You can assign an IP address in two ways:
• Using SNC toolbox stored in the supplied CD-ROM
(see this page)
• Using the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)
commands (see page 100)
This section explains how to assign an IP address to the
camera using the SNC toolbox and how to configure the
network.
Before starting, connect the camera, referring to
“Connecting the Camera to a Local Network” in the
supplied Installation Manual.
Consult the administrator of the network about the
assigned IP address.
Notes
• SNC toolbox may not operate correctly if you use a
personal firewall or antivirus software in your
computer. In that case, disable the software or assign
an IP address to the camera using another method. For
example, see “Assigning the IP Address to the Camera
Using ARP Commands” on page 100.

UDP (Multicast): This protocol is selectable when
Switching TCP/UDP Transmission Mode
You can select TCP or UDP as the communication port
for video/audio data.
This function can be used when Mode (video codec
mode) is set to MPEG4 or H.264 and the ActiveX
viewer is used.
Notes
• The function may not operate correctly if you use
personal firewall software or antivirus software on
Operating the Camera
your computer. In that case, disable the software or
select the TCP mode.
• If you are using Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later,
or Windows Vista, disable “Windows Firewall.” For
details, see “Configuring Windows Firewall” in
“When using Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later” on
page 9, or “Configuring Windows Firewall” in “When
using Windows Vista” on page 11.
1
Select TCP, UDP (Unicast) or UDP (Multicast)
from the Connection drop-down list in the Others
panel.
Multicast streaming (page 38) is On. When UDP
(Multicast) is selected as the transmission port,
RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) and UDP
multicast techniques are adopted for video/audio
transmission. By selecting it, the network
transmission load of the camera can be reduced. If
a router that does not correspond to a multicast or
firewall is installed between the camera and the
computer, video/audio may not play back properly.
In this case, select TCP or UDP (Unicast).
TCP: This is normally selected.
When TCP is selected as the communication port,
HTTP communication is adopted for video/audio
communications.
HTTP is the protocol used for reading the usual
Web page.
In an environment capable of reading Web pages,
you can watch or listen to video/audio by selecting
the TCP port.
UDP (Unicast): When UDP (Unicast) is selected
as the communication port, RTP (Real-time
Transport Protocol) is adopted for video/audio
communications. Since RTP is the protocol for
running video/audio data, the video/audio playback
is smoother than when TCP (HTTP) is selected. If
a firewall is installed between the camera and the
computer, or depending on the network
environment, video/audio may not play back
properly when UDP (Unicast) is selected. In this
case, select TCP.
