Network Parameters
Preparing the Network Parameters for the Network Camera
Before starting to set up the network parameters of a Network Camera, make note
of corresponding network parameters.
Refer to page 6 in this Getting Started and page 23 in the Operating Instructions
for network parameters.
Network parameters memo for Network Camera
The devices on the network may not be assigned the same IP address. Each
device must have its own IP address. Overlapped IP addresses can cause other
network devices to stop working and may result in widespread network problems.
[Type 1] Ask your network administrator for the network parameters.
[Type 2] Refer to the broadband router’s manual for the network parameters.
[Type 3] Ask your ISP (Internet Service Provider) for the network parameters.
[Type 4] Install the Network Camera in the default condition. Set the PC
"192.168.0.250" (IP address) and "255.255.255.0" (Subnet Mask).
Refer to page 24 in the Operating Instructions.

Network Parameters Table
*1Many ISP's intentionally block the port number 80 to guard against network
viruses. If your ISP blocks the port number 80, substitute it to another unused
port number.
*2When you use more than one Network Camera with a broadband router, each
Network Camera needs its own port number.
*3The Port Forwarding (IP Masquerade) feature needs to be set to the
broadband router. Refer to page 32 in the Operating Instructions.
*4Refer to the broadband router's manual.
*5
When you use a Network Camera in DHCP feature, check [DHCP] and enter
the Host Name if your ISP requires. If you automatically get the address of
Default Gateway and DNS server from DHCP server, you do not need to set up.
*6 Verify that your ISP supports DHCP. If your ISP supports DHCP, or if you assign a
domain name to the Network Camera, you need to contract and register for DDNS
service. If you set a static global IP address to the Network Camera and the
broadband router, you do not need to register for DDNS service. Refer to page 34
in the Operating Instructions .

Proxy Server Setting
A proxy server may prevent you from connecting directly to a Network Camera in
some corporate environments. The web browser can set up the IP address
communication without using a proxy server. Consult your ISP or network
administrator.
Note
A proxy server is generally used to protect security of a network that offers an
Internet connection. The network of a Network Camera with the proxy server
may cause some problems to the image quality such as taking much time in
refresh interval. Consult your ISP or network administrator for details.
1. Start up the Internet Explorer. (The window comes from Internet Explorer
5.50.)
2. Select [Tools] –> [Internet Options...] –> [Connections] tab and click [LAN
Settings]. See if the Use a proxy server check box is checked or not in the
next window. When checked, click [Advanced...].
When not checked, click [Cancel]. Your proxy settings are causing no
problems.
See if the check
box is checked or not.
When checked, click
[Advanced...].

3. Click [Network Configuration]. Network Camera List window appears. The
Setup program finds all Network Cameras connected on your local network. It
lists all of MAC addresses and IP addresses of Network Cameras. Network
Cameras that are isolated by the use of a home gateway or broadband router
will not be detected. Record their MAC addresses on the Network Camera
Memo on page 3 in the Operating Instructions. It is useful for customer
servicing.
Notes
• The setup program finds and identifies Network Cameras by listening for
data, which the Network Cameras send out for the first 20 minutes after
powering up. If the installation is not completed within 20 minutes,
disconnect temporarily the AC adaptor to restart this operation.
• Each Network Camera has a unique MAC address labelled on the bottom.
Refer to page 15 in the Operating Instructions.
• Network Cameras that are isolated by the use of a home gateway or
broadband router will not be detected.
