manual provides detailed information for installation and configuration of the device.
1.3. IP Address Setting
How to find the IP Address of your device:
The product has its unique IP address, and users can identify the address by converting the
MAC address’last two digits of hexadecimal numbers described on the sticker that is attached
to the device. Refer to the following figure, and convert the MAC address to an IP address.
Type the identified IP address in the address bar of the Internet Explorer to access the web
page of the product.

The figure below shows a main UI of the IPAdminTool. The IPAdminTool helps to search
multiple devices. Please refer to the ‘IPAdminTool User’s Manual.pdf’for the detailed
information and its usage.
What is IPAdminTool?
IPAdminTool automatically scans all of the products including encoders and cameras on the

firmware information, and devices’uptime. The tool also allows users to change the IP address
or update the firmware. It is highly recommended for users to review before using this tool for
better understanding the software functions and administration controls.
Limitation of the concurrent clients
Depending on streaming configurations and settings, simultaneous connections might reach
the limitation due to system maxed-out capability.
