arp -s <IP Address> <Serial Number>
ping -l 408 -t <IP Address>
UNIX/Linux/Mac syntax

ping -s 408 <IP Address>
4. Check that the network cable is connected to the camera and then start/restart the
camera, by disconnecting and reconnecting power.
5. Close the command prompt when you see 'Reply from 192.168.0.125: ...' or similar.
