AW00097209000 Configuring the Camera
Basler IP Fixed Box Cameras 53
3.8 Network Parameters
The parameters in the Network group are used to set the camera’s IP configuration.
3.8.1 Settings Tab
IP Address - Assigns an IP address to the camera that will be used if DHCP addressing is disabled.
Network Prefix - If DHCP is disabled, specifies the number of bits which represent the netmask
for your network. For example: 16 = 255.255.0.0 or 24 = 255.255.255.0
Gateway - Sets the network gateway that the camera will use if DHCP is disabled.
Host Name - Assigns a host name to the camera if DHCP addressing is disabled or the
Host Name Source parameter is set to Manual. Only letters, digits, and dashes are allowed. No
spaces or periods are allowed. (If DHCP addressing is enabled, the host name may be overwritten
by the DHCP server.)
Name Server - Sets the name server that the camera will use if DHCP addressing is disabled or
the Name Server Source parameter is set to Manual. Multiple name servers can be defined, which
have to be separated by a space.
Zero Configuration - Check the Zero Configuration box to enable
the camera to acquire a dynamic IP address in the 169.254.0.0/16
IP subnet, which is reserved for networking within the local network.
By default, the Zero Configuration box is checked.
DHCP - Check the DHCP box to enable camera IP addressing via
a DHCP server. Note that if this box is checked, the parameter
settings for IP Address, Network Prefix, and Gateway will be grayed
out.
Host Name Source - Determines the way the host name parameter
will be set.
DHCP = The camera receives the host name setting from a
DHCP server response, if available.
Manual = You must manually set the host name.
Name Server Source - Determines the way the name server
parameter will be set.
DHCP = The camera receives the name server setting from a
DHCP server response, if available.
Manual = You must manually set the name server.
