Appendix A - Other IP Setup Methods

As an alternative to the ARP command (described earlier in the Installation section of this manual), you can set the IP address for your AXIS 2400/2401 using any of the following methods - as appropriate for your operating system:

Method	Operating Systems	Refer to...
AXIS IP Installer	Windows	Using the AXIS IP Installer, on page 39.
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 downloads the IP
address to the device if a match is found.

Notes: •Make sure the AXIS 2400/2401 is powered up and connected to the network.

•IP Address: Acquire an unused IP address from your Network Administrator, and do NOT use the default IP address featured in the following examples when installing your AXIS 2400/2401.

•Server Privileges: Although no special privileges are required for Windows 95/98/ME or XP (Home), you will need Administrator privileges for Windows NT/2000 and XP (Professional). UNIX systems require Root privileges.

Ethernet/Mac Address: The AXIS 2400/2401 is pre-configured with a unique Ethernet/Mac 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 need this address to complete the installation.

Notes for Macintosh Users

When using the AXIS 2400/01 on a Macintosh, please observe the following points:

•The AXIS 2400/2401 has a default IP address of 192.36.253.80.

•Assign a temporary IP address to a Mac workstation in the same subnet (e.g. 192.36.253.81) and then connect to the server.

•Run the Installation wizard and set the desired IP address for the server.

•Reset the correct IP address for the Macintosh workstation.

•Changing the IP address for a Macintosh does not require a reboot.

•Currently there are limitations in the ActiveX Support in Internet Explorer running on the Macintosh. This results in problems when viewing live moving images. The recommended solu- tion for viewing images from the AXIS 2400/2401 on the Macintosh is to use Netscape Navi- gator.
