Mobotix M73 High-End IP Camera is one of our latest and popular IP cameras at VoIP Supply. Today we are going to demonstrate how to read, switch and select a boot option on the camera. Let’s get to it!
By default, your M73 IP camera starts as DHCP client and automatically tries to get an IP address from a DHCP server. To start the camera in a different mode, users can activate the boot menu of the camera and select the desired boot option. First, you need to know how to read the boot options. Check out the table below to see the boot options and the corresponding number of flashes:Â
How to Read Mobotix M73 Boot Options
How to Switch and Select a Boot Option on M73 IP Camera
To switch the boot option, briefly press the key of the M73 camera. The camera will return to the first boot option after the last option.Â
When you see the boot option you want, simply long press the key to select and the camera will confirm the selection by flashing the LED rapidly for 3 seconds. After 20 second, you will hear a sound according to the table above.
That’s it! Did you successfully change the boot option? M73 is an all-in-one camera with superb video quality, cyber security and computing. If you have more questions about this unit, read the M73 Quick Installer Guide Here or visit our website to learn more!
Copper Retirement is the most significant change to the Telecom network since the cellphone revolutionized mobility. Are you ready? Are you prepared? Have you received “the letter?”
Copper Retirement is the de-commissioning (or retirement) of the old Telephone circuit-switched network providing analog copper phone lines in the local ILEC or CLEC wire center (Central Office). Customers still with an active analog copper phone line have to switch to the new packet-switched fiber optic telephone network or risk getting disconnected from their service.
Some examples of services today using the old analog copper phone lines are Fax, Alarm monitoring, Point Of Sale (POS) devices and Digital Subscriber Lines (DSL).
Today, the ILEC’s are slowly introducing their new packet-switched optic fibre network by delivering “the letter” to millions of business’ across the USA. This “letter” informs you of the changes to the ILEC network and the impact it will have, should you not make the switch to their packet-switched optic fibre network. While most of your communication services will be unaffected, one service that can be affected is Fax.
Fax was designed to work over analog copper lines on circuit-switched networks and became very popular because of the reliability, security and legality of the fax transmission technology. While Copper Retirement has provided a relatively seamless migration for telephony over to the optic fibre packet-switched network, fax transmission technology initially was faced with challenges as the new packet-switched network did not meet the exacting standards required by Fax. In order to make Fax over packet-switched networks more robust, the T.38 protocol for Real-Time Fax was introduced.
The T.38 protocol allows traditional stand-alone fax machines or Multi-function devices to act and send/receive faxes exactly like they always have with no new training or exceptions. While the ILEC’s have prioritized the migration of DSL, Voice Telephony and Alarm services, they have ignored Fax. Fax is easy to ignore because most people (even the ILEC’s) think that it doesn’t exist anymore. However, fax is alive and well and plays a very significant role in the Healthcare, Professional Services and Insurance business’.
Given the ILEC’s low priority of migrating Fax over to the new packet-switched optic fibre network, Patton Electronics and T.38 specialists babyTEL have teamed up to deliver Encrypted Fax devices and services that migrate you to the optic fibre packet-switched network today.
So before you get “the letter”, get “the facts” on Copper Retirement and how it will affect your business.
