1.4.2 Change IP addresses in the camera network
a) After the successfully established access to the server with one of previous
options you can configure the server. This server has a pre-installed Windows 7
Professional 32bit operating system. In factory default the operating system is
configured with optimal settings.
b) On the rear panel of your server you will find four PoE Ethernet Ports.
To configure these Ports, use the „Network Bridge“ in your Network Connections.
The IP address of the Network Bridge is configured as “DHCP” in Factory Default
conditions.
Assign an IP address in a different logical network range, e.g. 192.168.0.99.
Connected cameras should be in the same address range for example:
camera1: 192.168.0.100; camera2: 192.168.0.101 etc.
In case you need more Ethernet ports for your camera network you can connect a
switch on LAN3 Ethernet interface.
The network connection „PoE-Switch“ and „camera network“ are assembled to this
network bridge and should not be changed.
Please note that the cameras should be in a different IP address network range
than the server and clients.
Attention:
Do not apply changes to the operating system and other configurations.
