SOLUTION-- HTTP not working after port change

[surfdaworld]

Hi all!
Just wanted to pass along a solution I discovered, while dealing with the somewhat infamous bug that disabled my HTTP access after changing the HTTP port (NOT the port shown/set within SADP)

Problem: DS-2CD862MF camera is not accessible via HTTP after changing the HTTP port from its default setting. Camera still responds to ping, and SADP can see/edit IP address. Was unable to successfully update firmware by TFTP, and my camera does not seem to have a reset button.

Solution:
1. Download PUTTY (http://www.putty.org/)
2. Verify/set IP address of the camera using SADP
3. Verify camera is responding via ping
4. Telnet into the camera using PUTTY. default username 'admin', password '12345'
5. CD into the 'bin' directory
6. run the 'resetParam' utility found there - edit - corrected command name
7. power cycle the camera
8. re-set correct IP address using SADP (all settings appear to be reset to factory default, including IP address)
9. HTTP now works!

I haven't tested on any other models. Would love to hear if it works for you!

HTTP port (NOT the port shown/set within SADP)

Just out of curiosity - what version of SADP did you use?
The v3.x version will change the HTTP port as well as the 'media port'.

I was using SADP v.2.2.1.1. Good to hear that the 3.x versions will allow HTTP port change--wish I had known so that I could have tested that first!

The v3.x version will change the HTTP port as well as the 'media port'.

I had same problem when I changed HTTP port to 450
This is what worked fro me.

use yours device IP+new port # (198.192.1.135:450) I was able to login from IE.
