device supporting semi-duplex communication.  
Transparency type  
Select the port through which you send and receive data  
via the network: HTTP (HTTP Generic Driver) or TCP  
(TCP Generic Driver).  
HTTP: When you select HTTP, you can realize data  
communication by creating an HTML program with  
CGI commands embedded in the computer.  
For the CGI commands, consult your authorized  
Sony dealer.  
TCP: When you select TCP, specify the TCP port  
number on the TCP Port No. menu, and you can send  
and receive data that is input to or output from the  
external serial communication port. You can check  
the connection to the camera using a DOS command  
“telnet [host name] [assigned port number]”.

Using the Supplied  
Setup Program  
To connect the camera to a network, you need to assign  
a new IP address to the camera when you installed the  
camera for the first time.  
You can assign an IP address in two ways:  
• Using the setup program stored in the supplied CD-  
ROM (see page 42)  
• Using the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)  
commands (see page 44)  
This section explains how to assign an IP address to the  
camera using the supplied setup program and configure  
the network.  
The setup program also allows the communication  
bandwidth setting and date and time setting.  
Before starting, connect the camera to a computer or a  
local network, referring to “Assigning the IP Address to  
the Camera” in the supplied Installation Manual.
