Installing a GigE Camera AW0006111100032 Installation and Setup Guide for ace CL, aviator, beat, pilot, racer, runner, and scout Cameras (Windows)4.6.3 Camera IP BehaviorWhen a camera is powered on or reset, it exhibits the following behavior when it tries to connect toan Ethernet network: If the camera has a static IP address configured, it will use this static IP address. If the camera is configured to use a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server toobtain an IP address and a DHCP server is available, the camera will obtain an IP addressfrom the server. If no DHCP server is available, the camera will assign itself an Auto IPaddress (see below). If the camera has Auto IP (LLA) (also known as Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA))configured, it will assign itself a random IP address in the Auto IP address range 169.254.0.1to 169.254.255.254.The default setting of new cameras is to use a DHCP server.Auto IP (LLA)The Auto IP (LLA) routine is a network standard that dictates how an IP address will be assignedto a network adapter and to the devices connected to the adapter when no other means of addressassignment is available. In essence, the adapter or the device will assign itself an IP address in arange from 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254 with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. As part of theroutine, the network adapter and the devices attached to the adapter negotiate to make sure thatthere are no duplicate address assignments and that the adapter and the devices are all on thesame subnet.The search for a DHCP server and completion of an Auto IP (LLA) routine can takeup to one minute.For Auto IP assignment to work correctly, the network adapter that the camera isplugged into must also be set for Auto IP assignment or it must be set for a staticaddress in the Auto IP address range.If you have multiple network adapters in your computer, only one adapter can beset to use Auto IP assignment. If more than one adapter is set to use Auto IPassignment, Auto IP assignment will not work correctly and the cameras will notbe able to connect to the network.In the case of multiple network adapters, it is best to assign static IP addresses tothe adapters and to the cameras. You can also set the cameras and the adaptersfor DHCP IP addressing and install a DHCP server in your network.
