Installing on a Network

•Quick installation - Follow the instructions below to quickly install on an Ethernet network.

•Easy installation - See Using the AXIS IP Installer, on page 39.

•Macintosh users - Please refer to Notes for Macintosh Users, on page 38.

❶Connect the video output of your camera(s) to the AXIS 2400/2401

video port(s) using standard 75 Ohm coaxial video cable, terminated with a BNC-connector. (Use a BNC-to-RCA converter if your camera is supplied with a standard phono-type (RCA) connector.)

❷Note 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

❸Using an appropriate method for your operating system, assign your product with a unique IP address from a computer on your network, as follows:

Windows only - Start a DOS window and type these commands:

Syntax:

arp -s <Server IP address> <Ethernet address> <my PC IP address> ping -t <Server 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 this 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

Note: In some Unix systems, the arp command can be located in a directory that is not on the command path.

You will now see ‘Request timed out...’ messages repeatedly returned in the window.

❹Connect an Ethernet cable to the AXIS 2400/2401 and attach it to the network.
