Flush ARP Buffer
ARP stands for Address Resolution Protocol. It is used to associate a layer 3 (Network layer) address
(such as an IP address) with a layer 2 (Data Link layer) address (MAC address). When a wired
network and a wireless network of the camera both use the same fixed IP address, a problem may
occur where connections to web pages will time out and fail. Use the Flush ARP Buffer to clear the
ARP cache and fix the error.
