DHCP

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol that lets network administrators centrally manage and automate the assignment of IP addresses in an organization's network.

Important!

DHCP should only be enabled if you know which IP address the AXIS 2130/2130R will get from the DHCP server, or if your version of DHCP can update a DNS server, which then allows you to access the AXIS 2130/2130R by name. If DHCP is enabled and you cannot access the unit, you may have to reset it to the factory default settings (see page 20) and then perform the installation again (see page 9).

Dynamic IP Address Notification Settings

When the IP address changes by means beyond your control, such as by DHCP or PPP, you can choose to be notified of the change via HTTP, FTP or SMTP. Click the icon to display, edit and refine the settings for address notification.

Referring to the on-line help and the table below, configure the dynamic IP address notification settings.

Parameter	Description
HTTP	Enabling HTTP means the server will send an HTTP GET request to the specified URL. This can then easily
	be taken care of by a designated cgi-script, which registers the request by some means. Custom
	parameters can be used by entering them in the field provided. The fields User Name and Password,
	(located directly below the field for Custom Parameters) should be used if the script is password
	protected. If you need to pass a proxy server to connect to the URL for the host, provide your user
	information in the relevant fields. See also the On-line help for more information.
SMTP	Enabling SMTP will send an email notification of any change in IP address. Enter the recipient’s address
	and a sender’s address, as well as any text you want to appear in the subject of the email. Note that you
	must configure a mail server under Network Settings. See also the On-line help for more information.
FTP	Saves a notification file on an FTP server. Provide the connection details for the server and your user name
	and password. If there is a firewall between the server and the FTP server, it is recommended that Passive
	Mode is enabled. There are 3 levels of TXT Type to choose from; Short - the IP address only; Extended -
	multi-line file; and HTML - contains the same information as Extended, but includes HTML tags. See also
	the On-line help for more information.
TXT Field	Specify your own text to include in the notification. This text is included in notifications sent by all of the
	above methods.
