Appendix B - Other IP Setup Methods

In addition to the ARP command (described earlier in this guide), you can alternatively set the IP address for your AXIS 2100 using any of the following methods - as appropriate for your operating system:

Method

Operating Systems

AXIS IP Installer

Windows 95/98/ME and

Using the AXIS IP Installer, on page 55.

 

NT/2000

 

BOOTP

UNIX

 

Requiring a BOOTP daemon on your system, this

 

 

method operates over the entire network. A

 

 

request to an active daemon initiates a search of

 

 

the boot table to find an entry matching the unit’s

 

 

Ethernet address. The daemon replys with the IP

 

 

address for the device, if a match is found.

 

 

 

 

 

DHCP

Most

 

This method should only be used if you know which

 

 

IP address the DHCP server will give the camera, or

 

 

if your version of DHCP can update a DNS server,

 

 

which then allows you to access the camera using

 

 

a name.

 

 

 

 

 

Notes: •Do not use the default or IP address featured in these examples when installing your AXIS 2100. If in doubt, consult your network administrator to obtain an unused IP address.

•Make sure the AXIS 2100 is powered up and attached to the network.

•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 systems.

Ethernet Address: The AXIS 2100 is pre-configured with a unique Ethernet Address based upon the serial number printed on the underside label of the unit; where the serial number typically follows the format 00-40-8c-xx-yy-zz. You must know the Ethernet address to complete the installation.
