Section 6: Setup for Unix systems

The arp method The arp command associates your NPS 530/532’s node address with an IP address. The IP address is then down-loaded by the ping command. The arp command syntax depends on your Unix system (see examples below). This is the syntax for System V and some BSD-type systems:

arp -s <host name> <node address> temp ping <host name>

The node address is the serial number found at the back of the NPS 530/532. Each pair of digits must be separated by colons as in examples below.

Examples: The arp command differs between different Unix systems. The ‘ether’ argument is only required for IBM AIX systems, and some BSD-type systems expect the host name and node address in reversed order.

BSD-Type Unix Systems:

System V Unix Systems:

IBM AIX Systems:

Note:

arp -s 00:40:8C:11:00:86 salesdept temp ping salesdept

arp -s salesdept 00:40:8C:11:00:86 temp ping salesdept

arp -s ether salesdept 00:40:8C:11:00:86 temp ping salesdept

The host will return ‘salesdept is alive’ or similar indicating that the IP address has been set, and that communication is established.

When you execute the ping command for the first time, you should expect a response time significantly longer than usual.

NPS 532, NPS 530 specifications

Axis Communications, known for its innovative network video solutions, has recently introduced its new line of network power supplies, the NPS 530 and NPS 532. These robust devices are designed to meet the increasing power demands of network cameras, ensuring reliable and efficient operation in various surveillance applications.

The Axis NPS 530 and NPS 532 power supplies are engineered for optimal performance in network video installations. One of their main features is their high power output. The NPS 530 provides up to 60 W, while the NPS 532 delivers up to 120 W of power, making them suitable for powering multiple network devices simultaneously. This high power capability allows for the use of more advanced cameras equipped with enhanced features, such as pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) functionality, which can require significantly more power.

Both models are equipped with Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology, which simplifies installation and reduces the need for additional wiring. PoE enables a single cable to provide both data connection and electrical power to devices, making the installation process more efficient and cost-effective. The NPS 530 and NPS 532 support the IEEE 802.3at and 802.3af PoE standards, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of network devices.

Another key characteristic of these power supplies is their resilience and reliability. The rugged design of the NPS series ensures durability in various environmental conditions, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations. They are constructed with high-quality components that enhance their longevity, reducing the total cost of ownership over time.

The NPS 530 and NPS 532 also feature advanced thermal management systems. These systems help maintain optimal operating temperatures, preventing overheating during prolonged usage. Additionally, both models include LED indicators that provide real-time status updates, allowing users to monitor the operational state at a glance.

In conclusion, the Axis NPS 530 and NPS 532 power supplies stand out in the market for their high performance, advanced PoE technology, and robust design. They offer an ideal solution for modern surveillance needs, ensuring security professionals can deploy powerful network cameras with confidence. With these innovations, Axis Communications continues to set the standard in reliable video surveillance technology.
