Assigning an IP address
To establish communication with the TCP/IP network and to enable Web browser and Netspot management, an IP address must be assigned to your AXIS 1610.
Before you start
System privileges You need root privileges on your UNIX system, or administrator privileges on a Windows NT server to set the IP address using RARP, BOOTP or DHCP.
Ethernet address You need to know the Ethernet address of your AXIS 1610 to perform the installation. The Ethernet address is based on the serial number of your AXIS 1610. This means, for example, that an AXIS 1610 with the serial number of 00408C100086, will have the corresponding Ethernet address of 00 40 8C 10 00 86. The serial number is located on the label of the print server.
IP address You must obtain an unused IP address from your network administrator, unless you have automatic IPaddress assignment e.g. DHCP on your network.
Important ❏ DO NOT use the IP addresses used in the following examples when installing your AXIS 1610. Always consult your network administrator before assigning an IP address to your AXIS 1610.
