Fi gur e 2. 21
Step3 Set parameters.
Parameter Description
Net Mode
• Multi- address: Two E thernet ports work separately through
either of which y ou can request the Device to p rovide the services such as HT TP and RTSP. You need to configure a default E thernet port (u sually the E thernet port 1 by default) to request the services from the device end such as DHCP, E mail and FTP. If one of the two E thernet ports is disconnected as detected by netwo rking testing, the system network status is regarded as offline.
• Fault Tolerance: Two E thernet ports share one IP address .
Normal ly o nly one E thernet port is wo rking and when this port fails, the other port will sta rt wo rking automatically to ensure the network connection.
When testing the network status, the network is regarded as offline only when both of the tw o E thernet po rts a re disconnected. The two E thernet ports are used under the same LAN.
• Load Balance: Two network cards share one IP a ddress and
