I have a DCS2100+ that I cannot configure.    When I use the IP installation wizard it shows a valid IP address, but the Assigned and Auto IP are tagged as No.   I can select Setup and walk thru the screens but it fails when i click on Finish with an error message - not a valid IP address.  I have reset a number of time with no change in behavior and tried to configure on another network.  I have 4 others so i am conversant on how to set them up properly.  The camera is probably functional but needs to have the firmware re-flashed.   

Is there a low-level process to re-flash the firmware.   I know some of the cameras have a specific IP address and timing from reset to get to a firmware flash page, but I have not found anything specific for these cameras.   I know that these cameras are repackaged Vivotek IP3133 cameras.   I have searched on their forum as well.   

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Carlo
