B. Assigning an IP address and configuring administrator’s data with the setup program 
 

1) Starting the VersaCam IC Series Setup Program 

Click the file ‘Setup.exe’ on your PC. 
When the setup program is executed, the 
setup program detects and shows every 
VersaCam IC Series connected to the 
local network. 
 
Among the VersaCams, choose the one 
to which you want to assign a new IP 
address.  (The default address in the 
figure is 211.53.133.223). To choose a 
VersaCam, click on its MAC address or 
IP address.   
 
When a VersaCam is selected, an IP 
address shows in the ‘Selected IP 
Address’ window. You must key in a 
password in the blank ‘Admin’s 
Password’ window to assign (or change) 
the IP address to the VersaCam. The 
default password is ‘admin’. 
 
You can now change the IP address by 
clicking ‘Change IP Addr’ button or set 
up by clicking ‘Start Configuration’ 
button. 
 
If the VersaCam has any problems, you can reboot without turning off the power supply. The 
‘Reboot’ button works as a reset switch.   
 

2) Assigning a VersaCam’s IP Address 

After keying in the administrator’s password, click the 
‘Change IP Addr’ button to change your VersaCam’s IP 
address. Type in a new IP address that you are going to 
assign to your VersaCam. Then confirm it with the ‘OK’ 
button. 

 
3) Configuring Administrator’s Data 

After assigning a new IP address to a user’s VersaCam, you may configure 
the administrator’s data for that camera. When you click ‘Start Configuration’ 
button, the Setup program automatically connects you to the Admin page of 
VersaCam Homepage. (For more detailed information, refer to Chapter VI ‘Configuring 
Administrator’s Data at the Homepage’)
