CAUTION! Starting the Camera With Factory Defaults or an Automatic IP Address (DHCP)
The configurations loaded when using the boot options 2 and 3 will not be automatically saved to the cam-
era's flash memory. Upon starting the camera the next time, the camera will use the last configuration it
stored. You can store the configuration in the camera's flash memory using the Admin Menu> Store com-
mand. Note that you can restore specific parts of the camera configuration afterwards by using "Restore" to
re-apply the settings still stored in the camera.
As opposed to resetting the camera using Admin Menu> Reset configuration to factory defaults, the
user information will not be reset if the camera is booted using the factory defaults.
When starting the camera with DHCP support (option2), make sure that the network has a properly func-
tioning DHCP server. If this is not the case, the camera cannot obtain a valid IP address and will fall back to
its last IP address.
You should also make sure that the cameras always get the same IP addresses by mapping the MAC
addresses of the cameras to the desired IP addresses.
Network Settings
Once the camera has been connected to the network, you need to set up the MOBOTIX camera's network
interface accordingly. This step involves setting up and checking the network parameters of the camera. If
your network has an active DHCP server or if it is already running on a 10.x.x.x network with a 255.0.0.0 net-
work mask) you do not need to change the camera's network parameters. You can directly access the cam-
era. If neither your network nor your computer use an IP address in the 10.x.x.x network (e.g. a 192.168.x.x or
172.x.x.x network), you should follow one of the following methods for changing the camera's network para-
meters:
n
Manual setup
n
Automatic setup using MxManagementCenter
NOTE! For the following examples, we will use a camera with the factory IP address 10.16.0.99. Replace this
IP address with the IP address of your camera. You will find this address on a small sticker on the camera.
Make sure that the IP addresses used in the following examples are not used by any other devices on your
network.
