This section is intended for use by the product administrator. Operators and viewers should read Operating the AXIS 250S, on page 14.

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

•Easy installation - See Using the AXIS IP Installer, on page 35.

•Other Methods - Please refer to Other IP Setup Methods, on page 35.

❶Connect a microphone to the Mic connector, or an alternative input device to the Line input.

❷Connect a video source to the BNC or S-Video connec- tor. (Use a BNC-to-RCA con- verter if your source is supplied with a phono-type (RCA) connector.) The 75 Ohm

selector switch should nor- mally be set to ON. If the unit is connected in parallel (e.g. with a monitor) set this switch to OFF.

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

Serial number same as Ethernet address; e.g.

00408c100086 =

00-40-8c-10-00-86

❹Using 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 Command prompt 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

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

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