AXIS A1001 Network Door Controller & AXIS Entry Manager
System Configuration
Basic TCP/IP Settings
The Axis product supports IP version 4 (IPv4).
The Axis product can get an IPv4 address in the following ways:
•Dynamic IP address – Obtain IP address via DHCP is selected by default. This means that the Axis product is set to get the IP address automatically via Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
DHCP allows network administrators to centrally manage and automate the assignment of IP addresses.
•Static IP address – To use a static IP address, select Use the following IP address and specify the IP address, subnet mask and default router. Then click Save.
DHCP should only be enabled when using dynamic IP address notification, or if the DHCP can update a DNS server that makes it possible to access the Axis product by name (host name).
If DHCP is enabled and the product cannot be accessed, run AXIS IP Utility to search the network for connected Axis products, or reset the product to the factory default settings and then perform the installation again. For information about how to reset to factory default, see page 50.
