Axis Communications M1011, M1031W, 1011W Obtain IP address via Dhcp, Use the following IP address

AXIS M1011/M1011-W/M1031-W - System Options

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 with the camera. Configure the options for notification of IP address change (under Services) to receive notification from the camera when the IP address changes.

•Alternatively, if your DHCP server can update a DNS server, you can access the AXIS M1011/M1011-W/M1031-W by host name, which is always the same, regardless of the IP address.

IPv6 Address Configuration - Ethernet - Check the box to enable IPv6. Other settings for IPv6 are configured in the network router.

IPv4 Address Configuration - Wireless (AXIS M1011-W/AXISM1031-W) - It is possible to have a separate configuration for IPv4 Address - wireless. The configuration is similar as for the Ethernet option.

Obtain IP address via DHCP

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol that lets network administrators centrally manage and automate the assignment of IP addresses on a network. DHCP is enabled by default. Although a DHCP server is mostly used to set an IP address dynamically, it is also possible to use it to set a static, known IP address for a particular MAC address.

Note:

DHCP should only be enabled if your DHCP server can update a DNS server, which then allows you to access the AXIS M1011/M1011-W/M1031-W Network Camera by name (host name). If DHCP is enabled and you cannot access the unit, run AXIS IP Utility to search the network for connected Axis products or reset the network camera to factory default set- tings and then perform the installation again.

Use the following IP address

To use a static IP address for the AXIS M1011/M1011-W/M1031-W Network Camera, check the radio button and then make the following settings:

•IP address - Specify a unique IP address for your network camera. (To check if the IP address you intend to use is available or not, click the Test button)

•Subnet mask - Specify the mask for the subnet the network camera is located on

•Default router - Specify the IP address of the default router (gateway) used for connecting devices attached to different networks and network segments.

IPv6 Address Configuration - Wireless (AXIS M1011-W/AXISM1031-W) - It is possible to have a separate configuration for IPv6 Address - wireless. The configuration is similar to the Ethernet option.

Services - Enable ARP/Ping setting of IP address - The IP address can be set using the ARP/Ping method, which associates the unit's MAC address with an IP address. Check this box to enable the service. Leave disabled to prevent unintentional resetting of the IP address.

Notes:

•The ARP/Ping service is automatically disabled two minutes after the unit is started, or as soon as an IP address is set. In order to reset the IP address, the camera must be restarted to activate ARP/Ping for an additional two minutes.

•Pinging the unit is still possible when this service is disabled.

AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service - Use the AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS service to assign a host name for easy access to your network camera (requires Internet access).

Click Settings... to register the camera with the Axis Internet Dynamic DNS service, or to modify the existing settings (requires access to the Internet). The domain name currently registered at the Axis Internet Dynamic DNS service for your product can at any time be removed.
