How do I set up my network card?

1. Open the Network and Sharing Center and navigate to Change Adapter Settings. Vicon Vantage/Vero cameras are designated to one port.  For each Vue (or Bonita Video) camera connected, there will be additional network port used.

2. Right click on the proper port and go into the Properties. The Local Area Connection Properties window will open. Make sure only Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) is selected.

3. Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) from the list and select Properties to assign the proper IP address.

a .Vantage/Vero cameras will have the following IP Address: 192.168.10.1 and Subnet Mask of: 255.255.255.0

b. The following will be dependent on which POE and computer network card is used within the lab.

The following table shows IP addresses that are commonly used in current Vicon systems (for 10G network cards):

Device

IP Address

Port for Vicon optical (main) 192.168.10.1
Port for Vicon video 1–8 192.168.10.2

For older Vicon system configurations that use i340 or i350 network cards, you may have additional ports that can be used for Vicon video cameras:

Device

IP Address

Port for Vicon optical (main) 192.168.10.1
Port for Vicon video 1 192.168.10.2
Port for Vicon video 2 192.168.10.3
Port for Vicon video 3 192.168.10.4
Port for Vicon video 4 192.168.10.5

Select OK to close out of the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties.  And OK again to close out of the Local Area Connection Properties.  This will make sure all changes have been saved.

4. Feel free to rename the network port so it is easily identifiable. Such as ViconMX, VUE1 or VUE2
