IP-Installer Installation & Operation

I. Brief introduction of IP-Installer

Network camera needs an IP address for connection to the network (Internet/Intranet). IP-
Installer is an application program developed to assign IP address and setup network
parameters to the network camera. IP-Installer is provided in a CD supplied with the product or
it can be downloaded from our website. (http://www.cnbtec.com) This document provides
information regarding the use of IP-Installer. The location of the installer file in CD is “1.IP
INSTALLER SOFTWARE/ IPInstaller_V2_6_0_eng.exe”.

1 MAC Address
This indicates the MAC address of the selected network camera. The MAC address shown
here should be identical to the Serial No. printed on the label attached on the network
camera.

2 System Name
The user can assign a name to the network camera. The factory default setting will be
shown upon the first installation. The name can be changed by typing in a new name here
or through “Basic Setup Menu” of administration page in the viewer software: NVR or
XNVR. You can input a “System Name” up to 79 letters long.

3 List Box (Compliant Product List)

This field shows IP-Installer compliant products connected to the same subnet as the PC is
connected. If you double click any of the values shown in this window, it will activate the
parameter input window of the IP-Installer.

4 Network Mode
Network mode assigns the network environment and the way of allocating IP address to the
network camera. You can make a selection out of 6 pre-defined network modes. The
selection rule is as follows:
- LAN with static IP : LAN Static
- ADSL with static IP : ADSL Static
- Cable Modem with static IP : Cable Modem Static
- LAN with DHCP server : LAN Automatic
- ADSL with dynamic IP (PPPoE) : ADSL Automatic
- Cable Modem with dynamic IP : Cable Modem Automatic

5 Web (HTTP) Port and RTSP Port

If default Web (80) or RTSP (554) ports are not available due to the firewall on the client PC
side, you can change the port number of each of them. Port number should be a number
smaller than or equal to 65535. Examples below show cases of connecting network camera
when Web port is changed to 8080.
• Connecting to network camera from Internet Explorer :
“http://192.168.1.112:8080”
• Connecting to Admin page through Internet Explorer:

“http://192.168.1.112:8080/admin.htm”
The viewer programs such as NVR or XNVR, running on the client PC use RTSP for the
connection to network camera. You also need to change the RTSP port on the client
program for correct connection, if RTSP port was changed from default value. As an
example, if you change the RTSP port to 5554 from a default value 554, you need to set the
RTSP port to 5554 on the viewer program.

If the default RTSP port cannot be used by the network camera installed in a LAN
environment connected to the external network through a router (or IP sharing device),
you need to change the RTSP port to available port number and set port forwarding
parameters on your router. Please refer to the manual of your router or IP sharing
device for more details.

Once you modify port numbers in your network camera, you have to reboot the
network camera in order to apply the modification. Rebooting can be done by clicking
on “Reboot” button.

6 IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, DNS1 and DNS2

Fill these fields when “Net Mode” is „LAN Static‟, „ADSL Static‟ or „Cable Modem Static‟.
Contact the network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for more information.

DNS2 is used as a back-up of DNS1.

7 Username and Password

You need to fill these fields with the values registered to the ISP, when „Net. Mode‟ is „ADSL
Automatic‟. User name and password can be as long as 79 characters and 39 characters,
respectively.

Some cable modem service providers restrict internet access through their service only
from a device having MAC address registered to them. Clone MAC field is used to enter the
registered MAC address.
button is used to copy the MAC address of the PC where the IP-Installer program is
running. Contact the ISP to figure out whether internet access is available only when MAC
address is registered.
