QDS

QTM comes with a DHCP server called QDS (Qualisys DHCP Server), which distributes IP addresses to the Qualisys cameras. An IP address for each camera is required to be able to communicate with them over the Ethernet network. QDS will be installed automatically with QTM and it must be running at all times, to provide the cameras with IP addresses at startup. The DHCP server will only give IP addresses to Qualisys cameras so it will not disturb your computer network.

When QDS is running, the QDS icon is shown in the Windows status toolbar. The icon gives access to the QDS functions:

• Double-click to start the Network configuration wizard, see chapter Network configuration wizard.

• Right-click to display the QDS menu, see chapter QDS menu.

• For more information about QDS warnings indicated by the QDS icon, see chapter Advanced network settings dialog.
