IP Address Configuration
By default, all S1800e series devices are Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP ) enabled. If
you have a DHCP server, the device will automatically obtain a valid IP configuration. If the DHCP
configuration fails, the device assigns itself a temporary IP address based on the Automatic Private
IP Addressing (APIPA ) addressing format.
NOTE: If you plan on using the S1800e series devices with the Nextiva video management
software, you need to disable the DHCP setting and manually set an IP address for the
device.
The APIPA scheme, available on the Windows operating systems, allows a device to assign itself a
temporary IP address until it receives a complete network configuration, either manually or from a
DHCP server.
A device in APIPA mode does not reside on the same subnet as the other devices on the IP network.
Therefore, it may not be able to view or be visible by the other devices. All Nextiva edge devices use
the following temporary APIPA configuration:
IP address: 169.254.X.Y (where X and Y are based on the last two octets of the MAC address
of the device)
Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
Gateway: 169.254.*.*
Setting a DHCPIP Address
The S1800e series devices automatically obtains the IP network configuration from a DHCP server.
Use this procedure if you are switching an encoder from a manual configuration to one using a
DHCP server.
► Perform the following steps:
1. Start SConfigurator.
2. Select the Units tab, then click Discover.
3. Select the Nextiva device, and click Configure.
4. In the tree view, click Unit >Network > IP.
