Do not use the default or IP address featured in the following examples when installing your AXIS 2100. Acquire an unused IP address from your Network Administrator.

Server Privileges: Although no special privileges are required for Windows 95/98, you do need Administrator privileges for Windows NT/2000, and Root privileges on UNIX.

Note the Serial number

Note the Serial number on the underside of the unit. You need to know this to set the IP address:

Serial number same as Ethernet number; e.g.

00408c100086 = 00-40-8c-10-00-86

Assign an IP Address

Using an appropriate method for your operating system, assign your AXIS 2100 with an IP Address from a computer on your network using the ARP command, as follows:

Windows only - Start a Command Prompt and type these commands:

Syntax:

arp -s <Camera IP address> <Ethernet address> <myPC IP address> ping -t <Camera IP address>

Example:

arp -s 172.21.1.200 00-40-8c-10-00-86 172.21.1.193 ping -t 172.21.1.200

UNIX only - Type these commands in your command line:

Syntax:

arp -s <IP address> <Ethernet address> temp ping <IP address>

Example:

arp -s 172.21.1.200 00:40:8c:10:00:86 temp ping 172.21.1.200

You will now see the message ‘Request timed out..., repeatedly returned in the window.

Notes: •In Windows you can find out the IP address of your workstation by running winipcfg (Win 95/98/ME) or ipconfig (Win NT/2000) from the command line.

•See also Other IP Setup Methods, on page 54.
