	your subnet.	In Windows, check that the IP address for your AXIS 230 is on the same
		subnet as your workstation. Exactly how this is done varies from one
		version of Windows to another. See Windows’ help for more
		information.
		If the AXIS 230 and your workstation are on different subnets, you will
		not be able to set the IP address. Contact your network administrator.
	The IP address has changed.	1) Move the AXIS 230 to an isolated network or to one with no DHCP
		or BOOTP server. Set the IP address again, using the ARP 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 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.
	Other networking problems.	Test the network cable by connecting it to some other network device
		and then Pinging that device from your workstation.
		Test the unit’s network interface by connecting a local computer to the
		AXIS 230, using a standard network cable. A crossover cable is not
		required.
