Preparation before setup

Connect to device and setup IP

Our IP device provides access through Internet Explorer. The IP address for your PC must be

within the same subnet as the IP device. You need to match the TCP/IP settings between PC and

IP device before you can access it via IE.

There are two ways to add devices to the network.

With DHCP server / router:

DHCP server assigns IP addresses to devices automatically. You can find them on the network

with our

IP Utility

. It is available on NVR CD and our website:

http://www.acti.com/IP_Utility

Run IP Utility to start auto device search. Click on the underlined IP links to access your IP

devices. You do not need to change IP.

Without DHCP server / router:

Please assign a static IP for each device and add them one by one. Connect to the first device by

following steps 1 to 5 below.

Before adding more devices into the network, you need to change the current device to a new IP

address so no two devices have IP conflict. (Steps 6 to 9).

For adding devices without DHCP, please see following steps.

Connect the PC to the Network Switch with the CAT5 cable, and change your PC’s IP to

192.168.0.99 / Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 (101 is just a sample, it may be any number from

1 to 254 except 100.)

Connect the device to your Network Switch. If it is a PoE enabled Switch, then the device is

powered on. If it is NOT a PoE enabled Switch, please also plug in the Power Adapter.
