M16 Camera Manual: Operating The Camera

3.2 First Images and the Most Important Settings

Once the MOBOTIX camera has been connected to the network, you need to set up the

camera’s network interface accordingly. This step involves setting up and checking the

network parameters of the camera. If your network is already using an IP address in the

10.x.x.x range with a 255.0.0.0 network mask, you do not need to change the

camera’s network parameters. You can access the camera directly (see Section 3.2.2). If

your network or computer does not use an IP address in the 10.x.x.x range (for example,

in the 192 or 172 ranges), you should follow one of the following methods for changing

the camera’s network parameters:

• Manual setup (see Section 3.2.1)

• Automatic setup using MxManagementCenter (see Section 3.2.3)

Note

For the following examples, we will use a camera with the factory address 10.16.0.99.

Replace this IP address with the IP address of your camera. You will nd the IP address

of your camera on a small sticker on the camera. Make sure that the IP addresses used

in the following examples are not already being used by other devices in the network.

Hint:

Briey pressing the L key will prompt the camera to announce its current IP

address on the camera speaker.

3.2.1 Manually Setting Up the Network Parameters in a Browser

You need a computer that is using a 10.x.x.x IP address in order to manually set up the

network parameters of the MOBOTIX camera. The computer’s network parameters usually

have to be changed for this purpose.

1. Change the network parameters of your computer:

Windows 7:

1. Open Start > Settings > Control Panel > Network

Connections. Clicking Properties opens the dialog

box shown.

2. Double-click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). On the

General tab, activate the Use the following IP address

option. Enter an IP address in the 10.x.x.x range in

this eld (for example, 10.16.0.11).

Once all dialog boxes have been closed, the computer

will have the IP address 10.16.0.11.

Entry in "Subnet mask"

eld:

255.0.0.0
