Network Settings Fields
Field
Description
TCP/IP
Enter the IP address of the host to use as a TCP/IP gateway
gateway
between networks. The gateway allows communication between
devices that are on different networks. Without a correct gateway
setting, the camera cannot receive or transmit data from/to
devices that are not in the same network address range.
primary
Specify the IP address of the external nameserver (if any) the
nameserver
camera uses when it attempts a TCP/IP connection with another
host. An external nameserver must be specified for the camera to
access an FTP server by using its text-based name. Since network
devices can only recognize numeric IP addresses, a nameserver
is needed to resolve the correct numeric IP address from a
text-based name used in a connection request.
domain name
Enter the domain name for the network that the camera is on. For
example, one might enter mycompany.com as the domain name
for your camera. The camera appends this suffix to requests that
it sends to the nameserver.
web port
Enter the desired web port (the port number of your camera's web
server). Options: 0 to 65536 (80 is the default).
A camera with a network name of mycam.mycompany.com, and
web port 8080, has an URL address of
http://mycam.mycompany.com:8080. If its web port is 80, then its
url may be abbreviated as http://mycam.mycompany.com.
bandwidth limit
Sets the maximum network bandwidth limit in kilobits per second
(kbps). Options are:
Unlimited means that image streams are delivered at full speed.
This is not a recommended setting as an image stream may take
up all the bandwidth in your network.
0 is an alternate method of specifying unlimited.
A non-zero value restricts your camera to that amount of
bandwidth. For example, a value of 64 limits the frame rate of your
camera so that it outputs no more than 64 kbps of image data
each second.
ethernet mode
Sets the camera ethernet connection mode. Options are:
Auto (default) autonegotiates the correct setting with the switch.
100full means full-duplex
100half means half-duplex
10full means 100Mbit
10half means 10 Mbit
The setting should match your switch.
Caution
Be careful when changing this setting as the
incorrect value means you will no longer be
able to connect to the camera. Changing this
value requires a reboot.
