Assign an IP address
Most networks today have a DHCP server that automatically assigns IP addresses to connected devices. If your network does not have a DHCP server the AXIS P7214 will use 192.168.0.90 as the default IP address.
AXIS P7210 will use 4 different IP addresses for each group of 4 video input connectors. Numbers on the video encoder indicate each set of 4. 192.168.0.90 is the default IP address for group 1, 192.168.0.91 for group 2, 192.168.0.92 for group 3, and 192.168.0.93 for group 4.
AXIS IP Utility and AXIS Camera Management are recommended methods for setting an IP address in Windows. These free applications are available on the Axis Network Video Product CD supplied with this product, or they can be downloaded from www.axis.com/techsup. Depending on the number of cameras you wish to install, use the method that suits you best.
