When introducing additional remote cameras or a
switcher into an environment in which IP connections
are already in use
The settings can be configured using auto IP setting even when
introducing additional remote cameras or a switcher into an environment
in which IP connections are already in use.
There are the following two methods.
1. Automatically changing the IP address set on the additional
device to be introduced from the unit
2. Leaving the IP addresses of the additional devices to be
introduced unchanged and automatically updating the
connection destination IP addresses set on the unit
Automatically changing the IP address set on the
additional device to be introduced from the unit
<Overview of operation>
The link settings can be configured by executing “RENEW IP ADR” in
AUTO IP menu [37].
With “RENEW IP ADR”, the unit first searches within the same subnet
mask. Then, links are set between the newly detected remote cameras
and camera numbers for which the connection type is set to “NoAsign”
on the unit.
At that time, the IP addresses of the remote cameras are overwritten
with the connection destination IP address values set on the unit.
Likewise, when a new switcher is detected while the connection
type for the switcher is set to “NoAsign” on the unit, the link setting is
configured by overwriting the IP address of the detected switcher with
the connection destination IP address value set on the unit.
Example:
(1) Operation is being performed with the three remote cameras A, B
and C set to CAM1, CAM2 and CAM3, respectively.
(2) The new remote camera D (with the following IP address value)
is added.
Remote camera D : 192.168.000.010
(3) Connection types set on the unit (CTRL TYPE menu [36])
CAM1 : Network
CAM2 : Network
CAM3 : Network
CAM4 : NoAsign
(4) Connection destination IP address set on the unit (MANUAL IP
menu [39])
CAM4 : 192.168.000.013
When “RENEW IP ADR” is executed in this state, the IP address of
remote camera D is overwritten with the following value, and a link is
set to the camera number CAM4.
Remote camera D : 192.168.000.013
192.168.000.013
192.168.000.010
192.168.000.013

The subnet mask, default gateway, and port number settings are set
to the same as those for the unit.
When you connect a remote camera for which the IP address has
been changed using a personal computer or other device after a link
was set to the unit with auto IP setting and then execute “RENEW
IP ADR”, the same IP address as was set when auto IP setting was
executed the first time is set again for the corresponding camera.
<Operating procedure>
1. Connect the additional remote cameras and switcher
to be introduced and the unit to the network within the
same subnet.
2. Open AUTO IP menu [37], turn the F2 dial to display
“RENEW IP ADR” and press the F2 dial.
