Campbell Scientific CC5MPX and CC5MPXWD Digital Network Cameras - Manual (Page 15)

Section 3. Getting Started
Ensure that the pigtail end of the power cable is properly terminated (see
Wiring, Section 4) before connecting the power cable connector to the camera.
If the power supply has an on/off switch, it is also recommended to switch the
power off before connecting the power connector to the camera.
For the initial power up and set up of the camera, it is also useful to unscrew
the protective cap that protects the push button and LED indicator.
3.1 Factory Setup
The following table outlines some of the CC5MPX settings that are relevant for
initially communicating with the CC5MPX camera:
TABLE 3-1. CC5MPX Default Configuration
Configuration Setting Value
Power Mode Fully On
Network IP Address 192.168.1.90 (Static)
Network Mask 255.255.255.0
Serial I/O Port RS-232
RS-232 Baud Rate 115200
PakBus Address 55
There are two different ways to set up the parameters in the CC5MPX. The
Ethernet network interface can be used with a web browser or the RS-232
serial lines can be used with Campbell Scientifics’ Device Configuration utility
(version 2.0 or greater). The use of the RS-232 serial lines need to be
terminated with the socket version of the SC110 or use of the DB9M-TERM in
order to connect to a PC (Section 4, TABLE 4-1).
When power is first applied to the camera, the LED will turn on and remain
steadily on for about 90 seconds. Once the LED starts flashing, the camera has
initialized properly and is ready for operation.
3.2 Installing Multimedia Player
The multimedia player needs to be installed where there is access
to the Internet.
The use of a multimedia player is required on your computer to properly
display the video from the CC5MPX. We recommend the use of the
VideoLAN VLC media player, which is free, open-source software to ensure
that the proper video codecs are available on your computer. The download is
available online at the follow address:
