		If you receive: Reply from <IP address>: bytes = 32; time = 10 ms..... - this means
		that the IP address is already in use on your network. You must obtain a new IP address
		and reinstall the unit.
		If you see: Request timed out - this means that the IP address is available for use with
		your camera. In this case, check all cabling and reinstall the unit.

	DHCP.	Set the IP address again, using the AXIS IP Utility (see the Installation Guide) or the
		ARP/Ping commands.
		2) Access the unit and disable DHCP in the TCP/IP settings. Return the unit to the main
		network. The unit now has a fixed IP address that will not change.
		3) As an alternative to 2), if dynamic IP address via DHCP or BOOTP is required, select
		the required service and then configure IP address change notification from the net-
		work settings. Return the unit to the main network. The unit will now have a dynamic
		IP address, but will notify you if the address changes.
	Proxy server.	If using a proxy server, try disabling the proxy setting in your browser.
	Other networking problems.	Test the network cable and connectors by connecting it to another network device,
		then Ping that device from your workstation. See the instructions above.
	Cannot log in.	When HTTPS is enabled, ensure that the correct protocol (HTTP or HTTPS) is used when
		attempting to log in. You may need to manually type in http or https in the browser's
		address bar.
	Incorrect host name.	Check that the host name and DNS server settings are correct. See the basic and
		advanced TCP/IP settings.

	Firewall protection.	Check the Internet firewall with your system administrator.
	Default routers required.	Check if you need to configure the default router settings.
Poor or intermittent network connection
	Network switch.	If using a network switch, check that the port on that device uses the same setting for
		the network connection type (speed/duplex) as set in the advanced TCP/IP settings.
		The Auto-Negotiate setting is recommended.
