CONNECTING TO NETWORK
Connect a standard CAT5 ethernet cable to R45 socket on EV3131 /
EV313 A and connect other end to your network hub/switch. Make
sure the PC you want to access EV3131 / EV313 A is on the same
network domain.
FACTORY SETTING - INITIAL IP ADDRESS
IP Address: - 192.168.1.2
Gateway: - 192.168.1.1
NETWORK DOMAIN
Change the IP of the PC you want to access EV3131 / EV313 A inline
with 192.168.1.2. You can change the video server IP later as per your
convenience using EtroScan™ as described below.
USING ETROSCAN™
EtroScan™ software is the quickest way to make sure we can find
EV3131 / EV313 A on your network. EtroStation™ setup will install two
