Page 6 AXIS P3301/-V Installation Guide

Connect the cables

1.Optionally connect external input/output devices, e.g. alarm devices. See page 13 for informa- tion on the terminal connector pins.

2.Optionally connect an active speaker and/or external microphone.

3.Connect the camera to the network using a shielded network cable.

4.Connect power, using one of the methods listed below:

•PoE (Power over Ethernet, Class 2). If available, this is automatically detected when the network cable is connected.

•Connect the supplied indoor power supply to the power connector on the camera.

5.Check that the indicator LEDs indicate the correct conditions. See the table on page 14 for further details. Note that some LEDs can be disabled and may be unlit.

Assign an IP address

Most networks today have a DHCP server that automatically assigns IP addresses to connected devices. If your network does not have a DHCP server the AXIS P3301/-V will use 192.168.0.90 as the default IP address.

If you would like to assign a static IP address, the recommended method in Windows is either AXIS IP Utility or AXIS Camera Management. Depending on the number of cameras you wish to install, use the method that best suits your purpose.

Both of these free applications are available on the Axis Network Video Product CD supplied with this product, or they can be downloaded from www.axis.com/techsup

Notes:

•If assigning the IP address fails, check that there is no firewall blocking the operation.

•For other methods of assigning or discovering the IP address of the AXIS P3301/-V, e.g. in other operating systems, see page 12.
