Doubts in DM368 IPNC camera

Hello,

1.) I have purchased DM368 based IP camera from Appro.(model: Davinci DM368IPNC-IMX036)
    In the beginning, I was getting camera display and the complete gui on internet explorer  on the IP address 192.168.1.168
    To get the gui output i am following static ip procedure as described in the document.

2.) I referred to the document Users_Guide_IPNC_DM368_IMX036.pdf . I installed the linux kernel
on the board as described in the document.But after doing that i am not getting any gui or camera display output
at ip 192.168.1.168.The printenv command output on DM368 IPNC prompt is folows:

4.) After booting the camera on with that kernel, following is the output on terminal.

Also, I would like to know few more things as follows,

a.) As of now, I am getting good image quality on the camera.But, the GUI has "eval version"
    written on the video stream. How long does the eval version last for, How would be the image
    quality after the evaluation period is over
b.) How can we improve the image quality once the eval period is over
    How can we develop our own image  processing algorithms on the camera
c.) How can we integrate those algorithms on the DM368 board and software package which we have got from Appro. What kind of environment setup is
    required for that ??
d.) There's a "Tuning Tool" provided with the development kit.How can we use that tool to improve image quality on the current set up.Is there any document
which explain how we can make use of that tool to tune image quality.
