2. Software Installation
The installation of the following software programs are required for the proper functioning of the
device’s Web user Interface
The programs are located in the Software Package CD provided together with the device.
IPInstaller

instructions to complete the installation.

3. Network Configuration
IP Installer is a utility that provides an easier, more efficient way to configure the IP address and
network settings of the devices. It even provides a convenient way to set the network settings for
multiple devices simultaneously using the batch setting function. Moreover, IP Installer can save the
network settings for all devices as a backup and restore them when necessary.
Preparation before IPAssignment
1. Always consult your network administrator before assigning an IP address to your server in order to
avoid using a previously assigned IP address.
2. Ensure the PD637 is powered on and correctly connected to the network.
3. MAC Address: Each device has a unique Ethernet address (MAC address) shown on the label of the
device as the serial number (S/N) with 12 digits (e.g. 000429-XXXXXX).
4. Although the IP Installer is able to find and configure any PD637 on the LAN except those that are
behind a router, it is a good idea to set the host PC to the same subnet. In order to connect to the
Web-based user interface of the camera, the host PC must be in the same subnet. For more
information about subnets, please consult your network administrator.
Using IPInstaller toAssign an IPAddress to PD637
1. Once IP Installer has been successfully installed on the PC, double click to run the software.
