2.2 Bench Test and Basic Configuration Steps
Assuming the existing network uses IP addresses that are unique and different than the default 
address on the camera, configuring the camera for IP communications generally involves the 
following steps:
Step 1 Connect the Ethernet port to an IP network that is isolated from the existing camera 
network (for example, a standalone switch)
Step 2 Connect a PC or laptop to the same network...

2.4 Web Browser Interface
Use a web browser to connect to the camera as described below, and confirm it is streaming video. 
Once the bench test is complete, use the web browser to make configuration changes as needed (for 
example, set the IP address to an address that is compatible with the existing network). It is also a 
good idea to run the FSM software and confirm it is working with the camera as expected.
It is possible to log...
