Preface
By using this software, the following settings of the digital disk recorder WJ-ND300 can be configured on a PC via a
network.
• Network settings
• Registration of cameras, and deletion/edit of the registered cameras
IP addresses of the cameras connected to the WJ-ND300 can be automatically assigned with this software. 
When using multiple network disk recorders, it is necessary to configure the above settings independently.
This software works only when the software version of the WJ-ND300 is 3.00 or later.
When failed to configure the above settings with this software, configure them using the setup menu of the WJ-
ND300. To configure the settings of the connected cameras, use the setup software of the cameras.
Refer to the setup instructions (PDF) of the WJ-ND300 or the operating instructions of the camera for further infor-
mation.
System Configuration
To configure the settings with this software, connect the PC in which this software is installed to the client PC port of
the WJ-ND300 and the camera to the camera port of the WJ-ND300. When the camera is connected to the client PC
port, it is impossible to detect and configure the camera.
Important:
• This software is inoperable in a different subnet over a router.
• The WJ-ND300 can be detected and configured using this software. However, for enhancing security, this soft-
ware will not detect the WJ-ND300 when 20 minutes have passed after the power is turned on once the default
settings are changed.
To detect the WJ-ND300 after the settings have been changed, click the [Available] button of IP Setup Tool on
the NW Camera Setup page (under the Camera page of the WJ-ND300 setup menu). Refer to the setup
instructions (PDF) of the WJ-ND300 for further information.
• Depending on the model of camera, this software will not detect it when 20 minutes have passed after the power
is turned on once the default settings are changed. Refer to the operating instructions of the camera in use for
further information.
