3. Installing and Using IZ Discovery

The IZ Discovery utility discovers all active devices connected to the network, and displays a list of their network parameters. These devices can include cameras and computers.

If any device on your network is connected via wireless, IZ Discovery will not recognize the device. In addition, if the computer running IZ Discovery is connected via wireless, you will not see any devices displayed.

  1. Download the IZ Discovery software (see Section 1)

  2. Run IZ Discovery

  3. When IZ Discovery first runs, you may see a Windows security warning. If so, click Run.

  4. If you see a message related to the Windows firewall, click Allow.

  5. IZ Discovery will start and display a list of devices on the network, according to their serial numbers (see Figure 1).

    1. Scroll down to find the device you are interested in. You can double-click to view/edit a specific device’s IP address parameters (see Section 4).

    2. Click Clear List to refresh the discovery process.

  6. If IZ Discovery does not recognize a device:

    • Press the device’s reset button (if available)

    • Reset the device by shutting off power/removing the LAN cable, waiting 5 seconds, and reapplying power

    • Check the LAN cable between your laptop and the network, and the LAN cable between the device and the LAN switch. Replace the cable(s) and run IZ Discovery again.

4. Changing a Device’s IP Address and Network Settings

It is highly recommended to use a fixed IP address (not DHCP). A fixed IP address enables you to access the computer using the same URL every time, even after unexpected power outages.

A dynamic IP address may change upon device reboot. Before opening the web interface, you will have to find the current IP address of the device using IZ Discovery.

If you want to copy the IP address (for login to the device) you will need to uncheck the DHCP checkbox momentarily to make the address field accessible.

For devices using RoadView software, you can change the IP address using the RoadView Settings tab (see Section 1).

If your device is an Inex Camera System, be sure to define IP addresses for each camera (LPR and Overview), using each camera’s configuration application. It is recommended to use sequential IP addresses for the Camera System and its cameras; for example: 192.168.5.110, 192.168.5.111, 192.168.5.112

To change the device’s mode (fixed or dynamic [DHCP]), or IP address:

  1. Select the relevant line in the list of devices and double-click on it.

  2. The Network Settings window appears

  3. To change the mode:

    1. Check or uncheck the DHCP box

    2. Click Save

  4. To change the IP address:

    1. Verify that the address is not used by any other device on the network

    2. Be sure to uncheck the DHCP box

    3. Enter the network address parameters

    4. Write down the new IP Address and click Save

  5. The change should be reflected in the main dialog. This can take about a minute until the IP is obtained. If you do not see the change after this time, close IZ Discovery, and then reopen it.

  6. Verify that the IP address parameters have been changed to the ones you wanted. If not, you will have to log into the device (or RoadView) and change the IP address.
