Problems setting the IP address |

|
|
| When using ARP/Ping. | Try the installation again. The IP address must be set within two minutes after running |
|
| the ARP command. Ensure the Ping length is set to 408. |
| The camera is located on a different | If the IP address intended for the camera and the IP address of your computer are |
| subnet. | located on different subnets, you will not be able to set the IP address. Contact your |
|
| network administrator to obtain an appropriate IP address. |
| The IP address is being used by another | Disconnect the camera from the network. Run the Ping command. (In a Command/DOS |
| device. | 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 is already in use on your network. You must obtain a new IP address |
|
| and reinstall the unit. |
|
| If you see: Request timed out - this means that the IP address is available for use with |
|
| your camera. In this case, check all cabling and reinstall the unit. |
| Possible IP address conflict with | The static IP address in the camera is used before the DHCP server sets a a dynamic |

|
| device, there may be problems accessing the camera. To avoid this, set the static IP |
|
| address to 0.0.0.0. |
The | camera cannot be accessed from a Web browser | |
|
|
|
| The IP address has been changed by | 1) Move the camera to an isolated network, or to one with no DHCP or BOOTP server. |
| DHCP. | Set the IP address again, using the AXIS IP Utility (see the Installation Guide) or the |
|
| ARP/Ping commands. |
|
| 2) Access the unit and disable 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 net- |
|
| work 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. |
| Proxy server. | If using a proxy server, try disabling the proxy setting in your browser. |
| Other networking problems. | Test the network cable and connectors by connecting it to another network device, |
|
| then Ping that device from your workstation. See the instructions above. |
| Cannot log in. | When HTTPS is enabled, ensure that the correct protocol (HTTP or HTTPS) is used when |
|
| attempting to log in. You may need to manually type in http or https in the browser's |
|
| address bar. |
| Incorrect host name. | Check that the host name and DNS server settings are correct. See the basic and |
|
| advanced TCP/IP settings. |
Cannot send notifications, uploads, alarms, | to a destination outside the local network | |
|
|
|
| Firewall protection. | The camera can be configured to use a SOCKS server to reach networks on the other |
|
| side of a firewall/proxy server. |
Your camera 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. |
Poor or intermittent network connection |

|
|
|
| Network switch. | If using a network switch, check that the port on that device uses the same setting for |
|
| the network connection type (speed/duplex) as set in the advanced TCP/IP settings. |
