As an alternative to the AXIS 700 control panel, you can use one of

Sux

these methods for downloading the IP address: DHCP, ARP, RARP

Xd Oxx

or BOOTP. All methods are enabled by default. If necessary, you can

 

 

disable the RARP, BOOTP and DHCP methods by editing the

 

 

 

 

configuration parameters.

 

 

The main characteristics of each of these methods are:

SWRd

DHCP is available in Windows NT, UNIX and NW5. It requires a

 

 

DHCP server on your network and operates on the entire network. It

 

 

allows for automatic but temporary assignment of IP addresses from a

 

 

central pool. DHCP will, when enabled, cause the selected host to

 

 

automatically allocate and download an unused IP address, default

 

 

router address and subnet mask to the requesting AXIS 700. It also

 

 

provides validation data that defines how long the IP addresses will

 

 

remain valid.

Ofd

ARP is available in Windows 95/98, Windows NT, UNIX and OS/2.

 

 

It requires the IP address for each new device to be downloaded

 

 

individually. Note that ARP does not work over routers.

fOfd

RARP is available in UNIX. It downloads the IP address to each

 

 

device automatically. It requires a RARP daemon on your system and

 

 

operates within a single network segment only.

Pcchd

BOOTP is available in UNIX. BOOTP is similar to RARP, but

 

 

operates on the entire network. It requires a BOOTP daemon on your

 

 

system.

 

 

Procedures for using each of the methods are outlined later in this

 

 

section.
