Preparation
Assigning the IP Address to the Camera
8
Preparation
The Preparation section explains what the administrator
has to prepare for monitoring the 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 the
camera for the first time.
You can assign an IP address in two ways:
• Using the setup program stored in the supplied CD-
ROM (see page 8)
• Using the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)
commands (see page 42)
This section explains how to assign an IP address to the
camera using the supplied setup program and how to
configure the network.
Before starting, connect the camera to a local network,
referring to “Connections” in the supplied Installation
Manual.
Use the network cable for connection when you
assign a new IP address to the camera (SNC-
M1W only).
Consult the administrator of the network about the
assigned IP address.
Assigning the IP Address Using the
Setup Program
1 Insert the supplied CD-ROM disc into your CD-
ROM drive.
After a short time a window will open displaying
the files on the CD-ROM.
2 Click the Setup icon of IP Setup Program.
The “File Download” dialog opens.
3 Click Open.
Note
If you click “Save this program to disk” on the “File
Download” dialog, you cannot install correctly.
Delete the downloaded file, and click Setup icon
again.
4 Install the IP Setup Program to your computer
following the wizard displayed.
If the Software License Agreement is displayed,
read it carefully and accept the agreement to
continue the installation.
5 Start the IP Setup Program.
The program detects the SNC-M1 or SNC-M1W
cameras connected to the local network and lists
them on the Network tab window.
6 Click on the camera to which you want to assign a
new IP address in the list.
The network settings for the selected camera are
displayed.
Tip
The factory setting of the camera network is as
follows.
IP address: 192.168.0.100
Subnet mask: 255.0.0.0
Wireless LAN setting (SNC-M1W only)
Type: Adhoc
SSID: snc-mw
Channel: 11 ch
WEP: Nothing

Preparation

these items, See “Setting the User — User setting
Menu” on page 27.
11 Confirm that all items are correctly set, then click
OK.
If “Setting OK” is displayed, the IP address is
correctly assigned.
12 To access the camera directly, double-click the
camera name on the list.
The welcome page of the network camera SNC-M1 or
SNC-M1W is displayed.
Note
If the IP address is not set correctly, the welcome page
