Appendix B - Other IP Setup Methods
In addition to the ARP command (described earlier in the Installation section of this
manual), you can alternatively set the IP address for your AXIS 2420 using any of the
following methods - as appropriate for your operating system:
Notes: •Do not use the default IP address featured in these examples when installing your AXIS 2420. If
in doubt, consult your network administrator to obtain an unused IP address.
•Make sure the AXIS 2420 is powered up and attached to the network.
•Server Privileges: Although no special privileges are required for Windows 95/98/ME, you do
need Administrator privileges for Windows NT/2000 and XP (Professional). UNIX systems
require Root privileges.
Ethernet Address: The AXIS 2420 is pre-configured with a unique Ethernet Address based upon the serial
number printed on the underside label of the unit; where the serial number typically follows the format
00-40-8c-xx-yy-zz. You must know the Ethernet address to complete the installation.
Method Operating Systems Refer to...
AXIS IP Installer Windows Using the AXIS IP Installer, on page 52.
BOOTP
Requiring a BOOTP daemon on your system, this
method operates over the entire network. A
request to an active daemon initiates a search of
the boot table to find an entry matching the unit’s
Ethernet address. The daemon replys with the IP
address for the device, if a match is found.
UNIX
DHCP
This method should only be used if you know which
IP address the DHCP server will give the camera, or
if your version of DHCP can update a DNS server,
which then allows you to access the camera using
a name.
