11 AXIS 206 - Install the AXIS 206/206M

Set the IP address
The AXIS 206/206M is designed for installation on an Ethernet network. This involves
assigning it an IP address, automatically (via e.g. DHCP) or manually. Several methods are
available. The one to use depends on how your network is configured. If unsure of the
method to use, please consult your network administrator, or see the network’s
documentation.
• If you are using e.g. a home broadband router, you may find it convenient to view the
router’s administration pages to discover which IP address has been assigned to your AXIS
206/206M. Please consult the router’s documentation for further information.
• If your network has an Internet connection (with no HTTP proxy) and uses a DHCP server
to assign IP addresses, use the One-Click installation procedure. See page 11.
• If your network uses automatic IP addressing (DHCP) and your computer uses the UPnPTM
service, the AXIS 206/206M will automatically be detected and displayed on your screen.
See page 12 for more information.
•Use AXIS IP Utility (see page 13) to discover the IP address. This can also be used to set
the IP addess manually.
• Set the IP address manually with the ARP/Ping method, as described on page 14.
• The default static IP address for the AXIS 206/206M is 192.168.0.90

The AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service
• The One-click installation procedure uses the AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service. This free service allows you to quickly
and simply install your camera, which then receives a static name (DNS name). More information about the AXIS
Internet Dynamic DNS Service is available at www.axiscam.net
• Please note that this procedure will send the AXIS 206’s IP address, firmware version, product type and serial number to
the Axis Internet Dynamic DNS Service. No personal information is transferred.
• To remove the DNS name and unregister from the Axis Internet Dynamic DNS Service, open the Setup pages in the AXIS
206, click System Options > Network > TCP/IP, click the Settings button for the AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service
and finally, click the Remove button.
