Procedure
1. Connect the camera to the network. The network cable will also provide power to the camera (see Con-
necting the Camera to the Network, p. 70).
2. Establish a connection to the camera and adjust the network settings if required: By factory default,
MOBOTIX cameras are booting as DHCP client with an additional fixed IP address in the 10.x.x.x range
(e.g., 10.16.0.128). Local computer networks usually have IP addresses in the 172 or 192 ranges. Depend-
ing on whether a DHCP server is present on the local network or if the network has been set up to use
fixed IP addresses, there are several possibilities for establishing a connection to the camera and to
change its Network Settings, p. 92:
n
Network with dynamic IP addresses
Using a browser: If you know the IP address that the DHCP server assigned to the camera, simply
enter that address in the browser address bar to directly connect to the camera
Using MxManagementCenter: With MxManagementCenter, you can show and integrate the cam-
era without having to know its current IP address.
n
Network with static IP addresses
In order to access the camera, it must have an IP address within the range of the local network. To
set the camera's network parameters, you can use one of these methods:
Manually using a web browser: You may have to adjust the network settings of your computer.
n
Automatically using MxManagementCenter: The camera is displayed in MxManagementCenter
although the IP address is not part of the local network, allowing you to reconfigure its settings.
3. Configure camera: You can use the user interface of the camera in a browser or in
MxManagementCenter.
Boot Options of the Camera
By default, the camera starts as DHCP client and automatically tries to get an IP address from a DHCP server.
To start the camera in a mode different from the default mode, you can activate the boot menu of the cam-
era.
