Network Settings
From the Network Settings, configure the TCP/IP network settings as follows:
Automatic Configuration
Enable BOOTP - Check this box to use BOOTP to automatically assign an IP address. This requires a BOOTP server on your system.
Manual Configuration
IP Address - Specify a unique
Note: IP addresses can be assigned at random within isolated networks, provided that 
each given address is unique. To avoid unnecessary number duplication and IP clashes, only use registered IP addresses when connecting to the Internet. It is strongly recommended that you contact your network administrator prior to assigning an IP address for your product.
Default Router - Specify the default router (Gateway) used for connecting to other networks and network segments.
Subnet Mask - Specify the subnet mask for the Network DVR.
Host Name - If you are running a DNS server on your network and wish to connect to the AXIS 2460 using a name, then enter the product’s host name here. The host name is usually the same as the assigned DNS Name. A host name is always the first part of a Fully Qualified Domain Name and is always one word, with no period. For example, myserver is the host name in the Fully Qualified Domain Name myserver.axis.com.
Domain Name - Enter the name of the domain your AXIS 2460 belongs to.
Primary DNS Server - Enter the IP address of the primary DNS server. This specifies the server that normally provides the translation of domain names to IP addresses on your network. If the server is not able to resolve a domain name immediately, it will then distribute the domain name query to other DNS servers on the network.
Secondary DNS Server - Specify the IP address of the secondary DNS server. This is the address of the server normally used to provide the domain name translation if the primary DNS server is unavailable.
