|
| If you receive: Reply from <IP address>: bytes = 32; time = 10 ms..... - this means that the IP address is already in use |
|
| on your network. You must obtain a new IP address and reinstall the unit. |
|
| If you see: Request timed out - this means that the IP address is available for use with your camera. In this case, check |
|
| all cabling and reinstall the unit. |

| The IP address has been changed by | 1) Move the AXIS 225FD to an isolated network, or to one with no DHCP or BOOTP server. Set the IP address again, using |
| DHCP. | the AXIS IP Utility (see the Installation Guide) or the ARP/Ping commands. |
|
| 2) Access the unit and disable DHCP in the TCP/IP settings. Return the unit to the main network. The unit now has a |
|
| fixed IP address that will not change. |
|
| 3) As an alternative to 2), if dynamic IP address via DHCP or BOOTP is required, select the required service and then con- |
|
| figure IP address change notification from the network settings. Return the unit to the main network. The unit will now |
|
| have a dynamic IP address, but will notify you if the address changes. |
