AXIS 230 | The System Options | 33 |
TCP/IP Network Settings
From the Network Settings, configure the TCP/IP network settings as follows:
Automatic IP Configuration
DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol that lets network administrators centrally manage and automate the assignment of IP addresses in an organization's network. Check the box to allow a DHCP server on the network to assign the IP address.
Important!
DHCP should only be enabled if you are using IP address change notification, or if your version of DHCP can update a DNS server, which then allows you to access the AXIS 230 by name. If DHCP is enabled and you cannot access the unit, you may have to reset it to the factory default settings (see page 38) and then perform the installation again (see page 11).
BOOTP - Check this box to use BOOTP to automatically assign an IP address. This requires a BOOTP server on your system. BOOTP is enabled by default.
Dynamic IP Address Notification Settings
When the IP address changes by means beyond your control, for example, by DHCP, you can choose to be notified of the change via HTTP, FTP or SMTP. Click the icon to display, edit and refine the settings for address notification.
Referring to the table below, configure the dynamic IP address notification settings.
