You will then be able to associate the camera with an IP address that you can use in a browser.
ARP Table Modification
The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) table in your computer translates an IP address to an Ether-
net MAC address. This allows your computer to use an IP address to access devices on the network.
The ARP table is normally filled in automatically by the operating system, but you can also modify it
and assign your iViewHD camera an IP address. You need to be careful in doing so as not to use an
IP address that is already in use. Once you assign an IP address to a camera, you can use the IP ad-
dress in a web browser to setup the camera.
You will need to issue commands on a terminal or command shell. In Linux or Mac OS X, you can use
the terminal. In Windows you will use CMD.EXE. The command to modify the ARP table is similar in
all operating systems.
You will need to obtain the MAC address of the camera which you want to locate. The MAC address
is on a sticker on the back of the camera:
The MAC address for the above image is 00:03:75:00:00:07. The command for mapping an IP ad-
dress to a MAC address is
arp -s IP-Address MAC-Address
In Windows the MAC address is specified as 00-03-75-00-00-07. In Linux or Mac OS X the MAC ad-
dress is specified as 00:03:75:00:00:07.
