Quick Installation Procedure

Follow the instructions below to quickly install the AXIS 2100 onto an Ethernet network:

Important!

•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.

❶Note 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

❷Assign an IP Address

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

Windows 95/98 & NT/2000 only - Start a DOS window 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.
