"Reset IP address at next boot", the default status is checked to avoid erroneous entries
during installation. This can be tedious having to perform software installation whenever
the Network Camera starts. Therefore, once the network settings, especially the IP address,
have been entered correctly, uncheck this option. If this option is disabled, the Network
Camera will skip installation at the next boot. The Network Camera can automatically
restart and operate normally after a power outage. Users can run Installation Wizard to
check the IP address assigned to the Network Camera if the IP address is forgotten or
using the UPnP function provided by the Network Camera (MS Windows XP provides
UPnP function at Network Neighbors).

General

IP address” This is necessary for network identification.
Subnet mask” This is used to determine if the destination is in the same subnet. The
default value is “255.255.255.0”.
Default router” This is the gateway used to forward frames to destinations in a different
subnet. Invalid router setting will fail the transmission to destinations in different subnet.
Primary DNS” The primary domain name server that translates hostnames into IP
addresses.
Secondary DNS” Secondary domain name server that backups the Primary DNS.

HTTP

Http port” This can be other than the default Port 80. Once the port is changed, the User
must be notified the change for the connection to be successful. For instance, when the
Administrator changes the HTTP port of the Network Camera whose IP address is
192.168.0.100 from 80 to 8080, the User must type in the web browser
“http://192.168.0.100:8080” instead of “http://192.168.0.100”.
