Network Setup
GuIDe TO NeTWOrK SeTuP
Please configure the IP Smart Dome at the location of its
installation. You must determine your network scenario
in order to configure the IP Smart Dome with the proper
TCP/IP settings. This tutorial will guide you through the
process. Before actually configuring the IP Smart Dome,
determine what settings you will apply. Record those
settings that you will use to configure your IP Smart
Dome for reference.
When configuring your IP Smart Dome, treat the IP
Smart Dome as another PC on your network. You will
assign it several addresses and other TCP/IP properties
to match your current network.
This step-by-step tutorial will teach what IP addresses
and network configurations you should assign your IP
Smart Dome based upon your network scenario.
1. Before you begin, you will need to locate any
information and settings that you have received
from your Internet Service Provider (ISP). You
may need to refer to these IP addresses at a later
time during the configuration.
If you were not given any IP addresses or the ISP was
responsible for the setup and installation of your
Internet connection on your PC or network, then please
go to step ○2
If you are not using a router on your network, your
"Current TCP/IP Settings" (from the previous section)
and "Assigned IP Addresses from My ISP" will be
exactly the same
assigned IP address
IP Address
Subnet Mask
Default Gateway
Primary DNS Server
Secondary DNS Server (Option)
Static
Dynamic
2. You must determine whether the IP address
that you were assigned from the ISP is STATIC,
DYNAMIC, or using PPPoE. At this moment,
you are only concerned about the ISP. Did they
provide you with a STATIC, DYNAMIC, or PPPoE
address? If you are unsure, please contact your
ISP.
3. Configure your IP Smart Dome's TCP/IP
settings for network connectivity by selecting
Administration Tools from the main interface
and selecting TCP/IP located on the left of the
– 36x IP Smart Dome Camera
PPPoE
Administration Tools screen.
4. If prompted for an ID and Password, use "root"
for ID and "4321" for password.
The default HTTP port number is 80. If your ISP
blocks port 80 you must use a value between
10000 and 60000. Please consult your ISP and
determine if they block TCP port 80.
5. Depicted below are several basic network
scenarios. Determine which scenario describes
your network. If your network does not match
one of the scenarios below and are unsure how
to setup your IP Smart Dome, please contact
your network administrator, then call our Support
Center.

Configure your IP Smart Dome's TCP/IP properties as
follows :
IP Type
❖
•
STATIC (even though you have Dynamic IP from
your ISP, use STATIC on the IP Smart Dome)
IP address
❖
•
A private IP address such as 192.168.0.202
[Example]
You need to assign the IP Smart Dome an IP address,
just as you would assign a PC.
The IP address you assign must be unique to your
network as well as match your network.
The IP address you assign the IP Smart Dome must be
a private IP.
Subnet Mask
❖
•
255.255.255.0 [Example]
You must use the same subnet mask as the one you
noted under "Current TCP/IP Settings".
