Symptoms, Possible Causes and Remedial Actions

Problems setting the IP address

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Using ARP Ping

The IP address must be set within two minutes after the power has been applied to the

 

 

AXIS 213, restart the server and try again. Also, make sure the ping length is set to 408.

 

 

The AXIS 213 is located on a

If the IP address intended for the AXIS 213 and the IP address of your computer are

 

 

different subnet

located on different subnets, you will not be able to set the IP address. Contact your net-

 

 

 

work administrator for an IP address on the same subnet as the computer you are per-

 

 

 

forming the installation from.

 

 

The IP address is being used by

Disconnect the power from the AXIS 213.

 

 

another device

Run the Ping command (in a Command/DOS window, type ping and the IP address of the

 

 

 

unit).

 

 

 

If you receive: Reply from <IP address>: bytes = 32; time = 10 ms..... - this means that

 

 

 

the IP address may already be in use by another device on your network. You must obtain

 

 

 

a new IP address and reinstall the unit.

 

 

 

If you receive: Request timed out - this means that the IP address is available for use

 

 

 

with your AXIS 213. In this case, check all cabling and reinstall the unit.

 

The

AXIS 213 cannot be accessed

from a Web browser

 

 

 

 

 

 

The IP address has been

1) Move the AXIS 213 to an isolated network or to one with no DHCP or BOOTP server. Set

 

changed by DHCP

the IP address again, using the ARP Ping command.

 

 

 

2) Access the unit and disable BOOTP and 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 network set-

 

 

 

tings. Return the unit to the main network. The unit will now have a dynamic IP address,

 

 

 

but will notify you if the address changes.

 

 

Other networking problems

Test the network cable by connecting it to another network device, then Ping that device

 

 

 

from your workstation.

 

Cannot send notifications, uploads,

alarms, etc, to a destination outside the local network.

 

 

 

 

 

Firewall protection

The AXIS 213 can be configured to use a SOCKS server to reach networks on the other

 

 

side of a firewall/proxy server.

 

Your AXIS 213 is accessible locally, but not externally

 

 

 

 

 

 

Firewall protection

Check the Internet firewall with your system administrator.

 

Default routers required

Check if you need to configure the default router settings.

 

 

The Internet site is too heavily

Use a script running on your web server to relay images from the AXIS 213 to the Internet.
