where MAC:9-10 are the 9th and 10th digits in the MAC address, and MAC:11-12 are the 11th and 12th 
digits.

For example, using this method, an encoder with a MAC address of 00-11-22-33-44-55 acquires an IP 
address of 169.254.68.85, given that hex 44 = 68 decimal and hex 55 = 85 decimal.

To find the encoder MAC address, see the label on the bottom of the device.

Cisco recommends that you use the following procedure to enable authentication on the encoder via its 
Web-based user interface.

On the home window of the encoder user interface, choose Configuration > Security.

For more information about accessing the encoder user interface, see the

Set a root password and then confirm it. 

These encoders allow up to 20 user accounts plus the root account. The default passwords are blank for 
both users and the root. For user names and all passwords, the minimum length is one character and the 
maximum length allowed is 64 characters. The root, user names, and their passwords can include the

Click Network in the left-hand pane and do the following:

In the HTTP area, choose Basic on the Authentication drop-down menu, and ensure that the HTTP 
port is 80.

In the RTSP Streaming area, choose Basic from the Authentication drop-down menu. The digest 
mode is not supported.

Click Save.

The credentials you set up here should also be used when the encoder is added in Video Surveillance 
Media Server (VSMS) and Video Surveillance Operations Manager (VSOM).
