Note:
Refer to Setup for Macintosh, on page 19, for setting the IP address in the Macintosh environment.
All methods are enabled by default. This means that if you have a DHCP server running on your network, the AXIS 560/660 will receive an IP address immediately after you have connected it into the network.
AXIS IP Installer is a Windows utility that allows you to set the IP address of your AXIS 560/660. AXIS IP Installer is available on the AXIS Online CD. It can also be downloaded from the Axis WWW home page at http://www.axis.com/.
Refer to the AXIS 560/660 User’s Manual for a more comprehensive description of the available methods.
Host Name Resolution
If you are using host names, you can map a unique host name to the IP address. The AXIS 560/660 supports WINS (Windows Internet Name Service) and DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System), which are recommended to use for host name resolution when setting the IP address using DHCP.
WINS only supports 15 character long host names. If your host name is longer than 15 characters, your AXIS 560/660 truncates the host name to 15 characters when registering with a WINS server.
