Symptoms, Possible Causes, and Remedial Action

Problems setting the IP address
When using ARP/Ping	Try installation again. The IP address must be set within two minutes after power is
	applied to the camera. Ensure the Ping length is set to 408. See Installation Guide.
The camera is located on a different	If the IP address intended for the camera and the IP address of your computer are

	network administrator to obtain an appropriate IP address.

device	mand/DOS window, type ping and the IP address of the unit).
	If you receive: Reply from <IP address>: bytes = 32; time = 10 ms..... - this means
	that the IP address may already be in use by another device 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.
Possible IP address conflict with	The static IP address in the camera is used before the DHCP server sets a a dynamic
another device on the same subnet	address. This means that if the same default static IP address is used by another
	device, there may be problems accessing the camera. To avoid this, set the static IP
	address to 0.0.0.0.
The camera cannot be accessed from a browser
The IP address has been changed by	If the camera and client are on the same network, Run AXIS IP Utility to locate the
DHCP	camera. Identify the camera using its model or serial number. Alternatively:
	1) Move the camera to an isolated network or to one with no DHCP or BOOTP server.
	Set the IP address again, using 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 configure IP address change notification from the net-
	work settings. Return the unit to the main network. The unit now has a dynamic IP
	address, but will notify you if the address changes.
Other networking problems	Test the network cable by connecting it to another network device, then Ping that
	device from your workstation. See instructions above.
Camera is accessible locally, but not externally
Broadband router configuration	To configure your broadband router to allow incoming data traffic to the camera,
	enable the NAT-traversal feature which will attempt to automatically configure the
	router to allow access to the camera.
	This is enabled from Setup > System Options > Network > TCP/IP Advanced.
Firewall protection	Check the Internet firewall with your system administrator.
Default routers required	Check if you need to configure the default router settings.
