IP Address Configuration

The IP address of the video server can be set automatically via DHCP, or a fixed IP address can be set manually. DHCP is enabled by default. To use a fixed IP address, you must also enter the correct subnet mask and default router.

Notes: DHCP is a protocol for automatic IP address assignment on a network. IP address assignment via DHCP may lead to the situation where the IP address changes and you lose contact. Configure the options for notification of IP address change (under Services) to receive notification from the video server when the IP address changes.

•Alternatively, if your DHCP server can update a DNS server, you can access the AXIS 240Q by host name which is always the same, regardless of the IP address.

Services

Options for notification of IP address change - if the IP address for the video server changes, e.g. automatically by DHCP, you can choose to be notified of the change. Click Settings... and enter the required information.
