Setup on other operating systems
To set up the AXIS 206W on other operating systems (Linux/Unix/Mac), follow these steps:
1.Connect the camera to the computer via the USB cable. This allows you to access the camera as a USB Mass Storage device.
2.Browse to and open the file config.txt and enter the encryption keys, the SSID network name, the IP address, etc. The wireless settings entered here should be identical to those previously configured in your wireless access point.
3.Save the file, wait at least 10 seconds for the settings to take effect and then restart the camera to enable the wireless connection.
Other setup methods
For other methods of setting the IP address, please see the User’s Manual, available from www.axis.com or from the CD included with this product. Note that these other methods will only work on unencrypted wireless networks.

This will reset all parameters, including the IP address, to the Factory Default settings:
1.Disconnect the power cable.
2.Press and hold the Control button (rear panel) and reconnect the power cable.
3.Keep the button pressed until the Status Indicator displays yellow (this may take up to 15 seconds), then release the button.
4.When the Status indicator displays green (which can take up to 1 minute) the camera is reset to the factory default settings.
