Important!

The AXIS 250S was developed for use with Microsoft Internet Explorer (5.5 or higher) running on Win- dows XP or 2000. Windows Millennium is not supported, but the video stream may be available.

As an alternative to the ARP command (as described on page 10), you can set the IP address for your AXIS 250S using any of the following methods - as appropriate for your network operating system:

BOOTP (enabled by default)

UNIX

 

Requiring a BOOTP daemon on your system, this

 

 

method operates over the entire network. A

 

 

request to an active daemon initiates a search of

 

 

the boot table to find an entry matching the

 

 

unit’s Ethernet address. The daemon downloads

 

 

the IP address to the device if a match is found.

 

 

 

 

 

Notes: • Make sure the AXIS 250S is powered up and connected to the network.

• Acquire an unused IP address from your Network Administrator before installing your AXIS 250S.

•Although no special privileges are required for Windows XP (Home), you will need Administrator privileges for Windows 2000 and XP (Professional). UNIX systems require Root privileges.

•Ethernet Address: The AXIS 250S is pre-configured with a unique Ethernet Address based upon the serial number printed on the underside label of the unit; where the serial number typically follows the format 00-40-8c-xx-yy-zz. You need this Ethernet address to complete the installation.
