Network camera and especially RTP/RTSP network streaming require a proper network configuration. Here is the list of default settings and some hacks you can do.
Contents
Elphel 353 network config
Serial Number/Ethernet Address
The ethernet address of the unit is the same as its serial number. The serial number is found on the label on the bottom of the camera.
Default config
By default the camera start with preconfigured IP address:
192.168.0.9 netmask 255.255.255.0 and broadcast 192.168.0.255
The default streamer configuration is to multicast on:
232.8.0.239 port 20000
ipsetd
If a static IP address is needed, e.g. locating the unit or assigning it a temporary address later on intended to be made permanent, it can then be configured by using a combination of ARP and ping command. This is handled by an application called ipsetd that runs as a daemon making it possible during a certain period of time after power up to set the ip address. Note, to do so requires an unique IP address (contact the local network administrator). Once a IP temporary address has been configured the script exits and thus needs to be restarted if the address is to be reconfigured.
ARP and ping from Windows or MS-DOS:
1) Start a DOS prompt window 2) Type the following:
arp -s <IP address> <Ethernet address> ping -l <length> <IP address>
Example:
arp -s 123.45.67.89 00-40-8c-12-34-56 ping -l 408 123.45.67.89
ARP and ping from UNIX or GNU/Linux:
1) Start a shell 2) Type the following:
sudo arp -s <IP address> <Ethernet address> sudo ping -s <length> <IP address>
Example:
arp -s 123.45.67.89 00:40:8c:12:34:56 ping -s 408*) 123.45.67.89
The unit responds to the ping in the examples above if the new address was configured. Note, this method(ARP/ping mehtod above) only sets the IP address temporarily (while the unit is powered). To make the change permanent the ip paramters (IP address, subnet mask and gateway address) must be set in a file on the camera, otherwise the default network settings will be restored again when the board is rebooted and you will have to start all over again.
Your PC network configuration
Your PC/Mac should be configured by default as:
192.168.0.15 netmask 255.255.255.0 and broadcast 192.168.0.255
You need to add route to the multicast address. Both commands can be resumed like:
sudo ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.15 netmask 255.255.255.0 sudo route add -net 232.8.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth1
This suppose what your camera is connected on eth1. (eth0 is my wifi)
Some special hacks
My wifi network is in 192.168.0.0/24 network
If your internet connection truth wifi is in 192.168.0.0/24 you can connect the camera restricting by the subnetwork.
sudo ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.15 netmask 255.255.255.248 sudo route add -net 232.8.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth1
So my routes are:
192.168.0.8 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.248 U 0 0 0 eth1 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 232.8.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
