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 216FD/216FD-V/ 216MFD/216MFD-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

Method	Recommended for	Operating system
AXIS IP Utility	Single camera	Windows
See page 8	Small installations
AXIS Camera Management	Multiple cameras	Windows 2000
See page 9	Large installations	Windows XP Pro
	Installation on a different subnet	Windows 2003 Server

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 216FD/216FD-V/216MFD/ 216MFD-V, e.g. in other operating systems, see page 13.
