LAN IP Configuration
To successfully establish the connection to a camera, the Network configuration needs to be done according
to the requirements of the application. The connection of the physical Network Interface Card (NIC) needs
to be enabled and set-up properly. Table 48 shows a good configuration for a first start with a single NIC,
but does however not represent a setup suited for all application and network environments.

To use several cameras on multiple Network Interface Cards (NIC) in one PC, make
absolutely sure that each NIC is configured for a different network. Otherwise it will
not be possible to operate all cameras correctly.
