FIRST TIME SETUP OF THE
NETWORK CAMERA
Before installing the Network Camera, its IP address must be set so that an Ethernet
connection can be established to the Network Camera from a computer. In order to do this,
either the IP address of the Network Camera or the IP address of the PC should be modified.
This is very important since the Network Camera has default IP address, 192.168.0.2, which
might not be suitable for your existing network.
You can use either IP Setup Utility or Crossover Ethernet Cable for configuration of
Network Camera.
Network Camera Setup with IP Setup Utility
IP Setup Utility is a simple, user-friendly software to set a new IP address to a Network
Camera. To assign a new, valid IP address to the Network Camera, follow the steps
described below.
Step 1: Connect the Network Camera to your network by connecting a straight Ethernet cable from
the Network Camera Ethernet Port to a hub/switch. Alternatively, use a crossover Ethernet
cable to direct connect a computer with the Network Camera alone. Actually, there are
different approaches in installing the Network Camera to different types of network. For details
on installing Network Camera, please refer to Section 4 System Configuration and Installation.
IMPORTANT: IP Setup Utility can only be used to configure the Network Camera IP address within
the first 20 MINUTES immediately after the Network Camera is power up. After the first 20 minutes
expired, IP Setup Utility cannot configure the Network Camera IP at all. After this time frame has
been expired, you must turn off the Network Camera by disconnecting the power source from the
Network Camera, then power up the Network Camera again to regain the 20 minutes time window.
Step 2: Power on the Network Camera. The green power indicator light should be on. The LINK
indicator light should also be on. If not, check the power and the network connection between
the Network Camera and the hubs/switches/computer.
Step 3: Run IP Setup Utility from your computer.

First Time Setup of Network Camera
Step 4: Select “NF” and enter Model No. (e.g. NF-610).
Step 5: Enter the Network Camera Serial Number and Registration Code to the fields provided.
Step 6: Insert a new, valid IP address of your desire to the provided field (e.g. 192.168.0.3).
Step 7:Click on Set Transmitter IP button to set the Network Camera to the new IP address.
Step 8:The program should now searching through the network to verify that the IP address you
requested is not already in use. The indicator bar on the right side shows the progress of the
current operation. If the setup is successful, the following window message should appear.
The Network Camera should have a valid IP address by now. You can continue to setup
Network Camera using built-in web-based configuration.

Tele Eye III+ Network Camera Installation Guide Page 10
First Time Setup of Network Camera
Network Camera Setup with Crossover Ethernet Cable
Your computer is required to change the IP address (e.g. 192.168.0.3). Please refer to
Section A Appendix for a detailed descriptions for IP configuration on different operating
systems.
If your computer has changed the IP address, you can connect Network Camera by plugging
Crossover Ethernet Cable from your computer to Ethernet port of Network Camera. You
can continue to setup Network Camera using built-in web-based configuration.
Network Camera Setup with Built-in Web-based Configuration
After you have assigned an IP address to your Network Camera, you can access Network
Camera configuration page in your web browser (e.g.
http://192.168.0.3:1024/setup.htm ). You
might need to enable Java in your web browser or to download the latest version of the Java
VM (go to
http://java.sun.com/getjava/index.html ).
To enter Network Camera configuration, follow the steps below:
Step 1: Enter default administrator password “000000” and click on Enter button. The following
page will be displayed and loaded with current Network Camera Settings.
