Appendix B
SELECTING AND ASSIGNING AN IP ADDRESS FOR YOUR NETWORK DEVICE.
Selecting an IP address for your network device ( DVR, Video server , PC ) is important. With the IP
address you will be able to communicate on the Network properly. To obtain an IP address for your
Network device try the following options.
1. FROM THE IT ADMINISTRATOR.
1. FROM THE IT ADMINISTRATOR. Medium to large networks are administrated
usually by an IT Administrator. In many cases is recommended to ask what IP address
can be used on your network device ( * ) ( see page 5 for more information )
2. THE “GUESSING “ METHOD”
If it is difficult to get and IP address for the network , this method will help you to find an IP
address easily for your network device ( * ) .
2.1. ADDING A NUMERIC VALUE. First at all, we have to get some information from a
computer connected to the same network. See Appendix A to see how to get the information off
the computer.
Examples.
If the computer connected on the same network has an IP address (example) as
192.168.1.68
, try adding 5 numbers to the last octet ( example , -> 68 + 5 = 73 ) . The resulting number
will be
192.168.1.73 .
2.2 CHECKING THE IP ADDRESS . Once we have an IP address we want to try, we have to
check if someone is using the IP address before we assign it to the Network device ( * ).
Go back to the computer at the DOS prompt
windows according with procedure on Appendix A
On the DOS prompt
Type the following command :
ping 192.168.1.73
press ENTER
If you receive a “reply from” that means somebody is already using this IP address on
the network.
