How to connect STT/STX/L cameras to a network.

To control STT/STX/L cameras via network, it is necessary that your PC and camera are on the same subnet, otherwise camera will not be recognized. That's why, it is recommended for the first time to connect your camera to the PC via USB cable, run CCDOps to set a default IP and gateway address, then reboot the camera for the new address to be active.

1. Connect your PC and camera to your router with active DHCP server using Ethernet cable. Also connect your PC and camera with USB cable.
   
2. Start CCDOps ->Misc -> Graphics/Comm Setup -> Interface Ethernet -> Address: 0.0.0.0, than press Detect button.
3. Verify Select USB/Ethernet Camera is showing your camera model and serial number.
   
4. You should see current IP address, in my case : 10.0.0.145
5. Click OK to close the Misc Graphics/Comm Setup window and disconnect the camera from the USB interface.
   
6. Now, you can establish link to your camera using that IP address.
