Stop Bit: Either 1 or 2. It is used to signal the end of communication for a single packet. The more bits used for stop bits, the greater the lenience in synchronizing the different clocks but the slower the data transmission rate. Bye default, the value is 1.

Parity Bit: Choices of No, Even, and Odd. It is a simple form of error checking used in serial communication and you may use no parity. For even and odd parity, the serial port sets the parity bit (the last bit after the data bits) to a value to ensure that the transmission has an even or odd number of logic-high bits. For example, if the data is 011, for even parity, the parity bit is 0 to keep the number of logic-high bits even. If the parity is odd, the parity bit is 1, resulting in 3 logic-high bits.

Troubleshooting

1. What is an Network Camera?

The Network Camera is a stand-alone system connecting directly to an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network. It differs from a conventional PC Camera, the Network Camera is an all-in-one system with built-in CPU and Web-based solutions providing a low cost solution that can transmit high quality video images for monitoring. The Network Camera can be managed remotely, accessed and controlled from any PC/Notebook over an Intranet or the Internet from a Web browser.

2. What is the maximum number of users that can be allowed to access DCS-3411/3430 simultaneously?

The maximum number of users that can log onto the Network Camera at the same time is 10. Please keep in mind the overall performance of the transmission speed will slow down when many users are logged on.

3. What algorithm is used to compress the digital image?

The Network Camera utilizes MPEG-4 simple profile image compression technology to provide high quality images.

4. Can I capture still images from the Network Camera?

Yes you are able to capture still images with the snapshot function from the software application CD supplied with the Network Camera or with the snapshot function on the Home page using an Internet browser.

5. Can the Network Camera be used outdoors?

The Network Camera is not weatherproof. It needs to be equipped with a weatherproof case to be used outdoors and it is not recommended.

6. When physically connecting the Network Camera to a network what network cabling is required?

The Network Camera uses Category 5 UTP cable allowing 10 Base-T and 100 Base-T networking.

7. Can the Network Camera be setup as a PC-cam on a computer?

No, the DCS-3411/3430 Network Camera is used only on an wireless 802.11n, Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network.

8. Can the DCS-3411/3430 be connected to the network if it consists of only private IP addresses?

Yes, the Network Camera can be connected to a LAN with private IP addresses.

9. Can the DCS-3411/3430 be installed and work if a firewall exists on the network?

If a firewall exists on the network, port 80 is open for ordinary data communication. The DCS-3411/3430 uses port 5002 for streaming audio and port 5003 for streaming video. These ports (or the ports you specify from the Advanced Tab in the Configuration screen if you change the default ports) need to be opened on the firewall.

10. Why am I unable to access the DCS-3411/3430 from a Web browser?

If a router or firewall is used on the network, the correct ports for the DCS-3411/3430 may not be configured on the router or firewall. To correct the problem, you need to determine if the DCS-3411/3430 is behind a router or firewall and if the router or firewall is properly configured for the ports the DCS-3411/3430 is using. Other possible problems might be due to the network cable. Try replacing your network cable. Test the network interface of the product by connecting a local computer to the unit, utilizing a Ethernet crossover cable. If the problem is not solved the Network Camera might be faulty.

11. Why does the Network Camera work locally but not externally?

This might be caused by network firewall protection. The firewall may need to have some settings changed in order for the Network Camera to be accessible outside your local LAN. Check with the Network Administrator for your network.

Make sure that the Network Camera isn't conflicting with any Web server you may have running on your network. The default router setting might be a possible reason. Check that the configuration of the router settings allow the Network Camera to be accessed outside your local LAN.

12. I connected the Network Camera directly to a computer with a cross-over cable Ethernet cable and received the following Windows error upon running the Installation Wizard:

This Windows error will occur if the Network Camera is connected to a computer that is not properly configured with a valid IP address. Turn off DHCP from the Network Settings in Windows and configure the computer with a valid IP address, or connect the camera to a router with DHCP enabled. This error can also occur if the Installation Wizard icon is clicked on more than once from the setup wizard.

13. Noisy images occur. How can I solve the problem?

The video images might be noisy if the Network Camera is used in a very low light environment. To solve this issue you need more lighting.

13. The images appear to be of poor quality, how can I improve the image quality?

Make sure that your computer's display properties are set above 256 colors. Using 16 or 256 colors on your computer will produce dithering artifacts in the image, making the image appear to be of poor quality. The configuration on the Network Camera image display is incorrect. Through the Advanced > Image Setting section of the Web management you need to adjust the image related parameters such as brightness, contrast, hue and power line frequency for fluorescent light.

DI/DO

12V+/12V-	Connect to an IR illuminator or other device in parallel connection. The total output current should be under 200mA.

Networking Basics

Check your IP address

After you install your new D-Link adapter, by default, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server (i.e. wireless router) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the steps below.

Click on Start > Run. In the run box type cmd and click OK.

At the prompt, type ipconfig and press Enter.

This will display the IP address, subnet mask, and the default gateway of your adapter.

If the address is 0.0.0.0, check your adapter installation, security settings, and the settings on your router. Some firewall software programs may block a DHCP request on newly installed adapters.

If you are connecting to a wireless network at a

hotspot (e.g. hotel, coffee shop, airport), please contact an employee or administrator to verify their wireless network settings.

Statically Assign an IP address

If you are not using a DHCP capable gateway/router, or you need to assign a static IP address, please follow the steps below:

Step 1

Windows XP - Click on Start > Control Panel > Network Connections.

Windows® 2000 - From the desktop, right-click My Network Places > Properties.

Step 2

Right-click on the Local Area Connection which represents your D-Link network adapter and select Properties.

Step 3

Highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties.

Step 4

Click Use the following IP address and enter an IP address that is on the same subnet as your network or the LAN IP address on your router.

Example: If the camera's LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1, make your IP address 192.168.0.X where X is a number between 2 and 99. Make sure that the number you choose is not in use on the network. Set Default Gateway the same as the LAN IP address of your router (192.168.0.1).

Set Primary DNS the same as the LAN IP address of your router (192.168.0.1). The Secondary DNS is not needed or you may enter a DNS server from your ISP.

Step 5

Click OK twice to save your settings.
