D-Link DCS-5±±0 User Manual

Section ² - Configuration

Allows a user to disable audio when viewing

video.

The UDP Protocol should be chosen for most users.

Generally, the client computer will automatically

try these protocols in the following order, UDP ->

TCP.

After the client connects to the DCS-5220

successfully, the working protocol will be displayed

in Protocol Option. The chosen protocol will be

saved in the user’s PC and used for the next

connection. If the network environment is changed

or users want to let the Web browser automatically

detect the protocol, select UDP manually and click

Save to change the setting and return Home to

reconnect with the new setting.

Options:

UDP Protocol - Offers the highest image and video quality. However, packet losses will diminish image quality when

bandwidth becomes restricted.

TCP Protocol - Packet loss is less likely to occur compared to UDP when bandwidth is restricted.

Allows the user to specify where the video image will be saved on the local hard drive, when the user records video

directly from the web interface.

DCS-5220 will request a new IP address from the DHCP server everytime it restarts. Once the DCS-5220

is configured, this box should be unchecked at all times. If the box has been checked and the connection

is lost, run the Installation Wizard to find the camera’s IP address.

Necessary for network identification.

Used to determine if the destination is in the same subnet. The default value is “255.255.255.0.”

Enter the IP address of the router/gateway. Invalid router settings may cause the failure of transmissions

to a different subnet.

Primary domain name server that translates names to IP addresses.

Secondary domain name server to backup the primary one.

(Universal Plug & Play) This option allows the computer to find this camera through UPnP, which will show

up under “Network Neighborhood” without configuration. UPnP is based on TCP/IP and Internet protocols.

UPnP is a networking architecture that provides compatibility among networking equipment, software, and

peripherals. The camera is an UPnP enabled device and it will work with other UPnP devices/software.

The camera will add the port forwarding entry into the router automatically when this option is enabled.

(Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) Select this option if the camera is directly connected to the Internet

through a DSL modem, and the ISP (Internet Service Provider) requires you to use PPPoE for the Internet

connection. Input the authentication information from your ISP into these fields.

Note:

The Internet (WAN) IP Address of the PPPoE will be sent through the email.

Can be set to other than the default port 80. When the administrator changes the HTTP port of the DCS-5220

(which has an IP address of 192.168.0.100) from 80 to 8080, users must type http://192.168.0.100:8080 in

the Web browser bar to reach the web configuration page.

This option allows the user to specify the file name for RTSP streaming.

This option allows the user to set a port other than the default UDP port 554.

(Service Set Identifier) is a name that identifies a wireless network.

Access Points and wireless clients

attempting to connect to a specific WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) must use the same SSID. The

default setting is

dlink

.

Click on the drop-down menu; select from the following options:

Infrastructure

- connecting the WLAN using an Access Point such as the DWL-2100AP or a DI-624

wireless router.

Ad-Hoc

– wireless mode used when connecting directly to a computer equipped with a wireless adapter

in a peer-to-peer environment.

Under Infrastructure mode, the wireless channel is automatically selected by the camera. Under Ad-Hoc

mode, the default wireless channel setting is channel

6

. Select the channel that is the same as the other

wireless devices on your network.

Select the transmission rate on the network.

Auto

is the default setting.

Select the encryption type from the drop-down list. The default setting for the encryption is

None

, which

means the security is disabled.

If the encryption type selected is WEP from the Security drop-down list, choose one of the authorization

modes:

Open

- communicates the key across the network.

Shared

– allows communication only with other devices with identical WEP settings.
