Dear Sir/Madame I have problem to access the web server of my STXL camera. After cammera connection I write 192.168.0.100 in the web browser but I can not access the web server. I run the camera on a PC with W10. Any further tips? Regards
See Page 23 of the user manual: https://diffractionlimited.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/operating_manual_for_stx.pdf
When I connect the Etrnet cable from my PC to the camera Ethernet port the green and yellow LEDs begin to flash. After a while the yellow go out and the green LED is green steady. I use a CAT 5 patch cable between the PC and camera. Any ideas?
Probably set to the wrong address. It might have been reprogrammed to a different address, or it could be configured for DHCP, which means your router tells it what address to use. Try using a port scanner program to find the camera's address. Scan the 192.168.xxx.xxx addresses first. One free online tool is https://www.advanced-port-scanner.com/
Hi Jorgen - two suggestions: From a command prompt, try pinging the camera - that may give you an indication. e.g. ping 192.168.0.100 What happens if you set the address in Graphics/Comm Setup to 0.0.0.0and hit Detect ? Also, have you set the network settings on your computer to a static IP address?
Here comes the result from pinging 192.168.0.100 Here comes the result from autodetect with IP set to 0.0.0.0 Here is my network setting. So yes, DHCP is enable. The setting is "Obtain an IP address automatically" I download the port scanner software and here is the result after the scan. During the scan the yellow LED on SBIG camera was flashing. The green LED was on steady light. After scanning the yellow LED goes out.
This is a fundamental problem, not a camera problem. Your computer's ethernet IPv4 network is not getting an address, and it won't be on the same subnet at the camera. It is using a 192.168.1.xxxx subnet The computer should be on 192.168.0.xxx subnet, which is where the camera is. To fix: You need to set things up like the following: Disconnect the computer from the LAN that you have. 1. turn off the computer's WiFi if you have it on. 2. unplug the camera network cable and your PC's wired ethernet cable. Make sure neither of these two devices on on your network. 3. Set a static IP address for the wired ethernet IPV4 configuration. For example, set your PC as follows: (x) Use the following IP Address: IP Address: 192.168.0.1 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 Default gateway: 192.168.0.1 4. Use a hardwired ethernet patch cable from the PC to the camera. The Green link light should come on. If this fails, then you may need to either get a "crossover cable" or a network switch between the camera and PC, that is NOT connected to the rest of your network. 5. If you try the port scanner again, you will see the address of your PC will be 192.168.0.1, not 169.x.x.x as shown in your last screenshot. 6. Now you can proceed with configuring the camera. It should connect. The yellow LED will flash when it gets data. 7. After you are done, you need to set the IP address of the camera and network submask etc to be on the 192.168.1.xxx subnet and 255.255.255.0. DHCP should work, or static IP. Just don't reuse an existing IP address if you manually assign it. I usually recommend static IPs or DHCP reservation in your router/DNS server, so that the camera gets the same IP address every time. Good luck, let us know how you make out.
