Appendix B - Other IP Setup Methods
In addition to the ARP command (described earlier in the Installation section of this manual), you can alternatively set the IP address for your AXIS 2420 using any of the following methods - as appropriate for your operating system:
Method | Operating Systems | Refer to... |
|
|
|
AXIS IP Installer | Windows | Using the AXIS IP Installer, on page 52. |
BOOTP | UNIX |
|
Requiring a BOOTP daemon on your system, this |
|
|
method operates over the entire network. A |
|
|
request to an active daemon initiates a search of |
|
|
the boot table to find an entry matching the unit’s |
|
|
Ethernet address. The daemon replys with the IP |
|
|
address for the device, if a match is found. |
|
|
DHCP | Most |
|
This method should only be used if you know which |
|
|
IP address the DHCP server will give the camera, or |
|
|
if your version of DHCP can update a DNS server, |
|
|
which then allows you to access the camera using |
|
|
a name. |
