Symptoms, Possible Causes and Remedial Actions
Problems setting the IP address |
| |
|
|
|
| Using ARP/Ping | The IP address must be set within two minutes after power has been applied to the video |
|
| server. |
|
| Restart the server and try again. Ensure also the ping length is set to 408. (See the Axis video |
|
| server Installation Guide) |
| The video server is located on a | If the IP address intended for the Axis video server 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 network |
|
| administrator for an IP address on the same subnet as the computer you are performing the |
|
| installation from. |
| The IP address is being used by | Disconnect power from the Axis video server. |
| another device | Run the Ping command (in a Command/DOS window, type ping <IP address of 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 |
|
| video server. In this case, check all cabling and reinstall the unit. |
The | Axis video server cannot be accessed from a web browser | |
|
|
|
| Cannot log in | If the Axis video server has been configured to use HTTPS, check that the protocol in the URL |
|
| used to access the unit is correct. You may need to type this in manually (i.e. http or https) in |
|
| the browser’s address field. |
| The IP address has been changed | 1) Move the Axis video server to an isolated network or to one with no DHCP or BOOTP server. |
| by DHCP | Set 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 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 another network device, then Ping that device from |
|
| your workstation. See instructions above. |
Cannot send notifications, uploads, | alarms, etc, to a destination outside the local network | |
|
|
|
| Firewall protection | The video server can be configured to use a SOCKS server to reach networks on the other side |
|
| of a firewall/proxy server |
Your Axis video server 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 on your web server to relay images from the Axis video server to the Internet. |
