AXIS 5400 User’s Manual Section 3: Basic Installation

Using DHCP Follow the instructions below to download the IP address using

DHCP:

1. Edit or create a scope in the DHCP manager of the DHCP

daemon. The entries included in this scope should contain the

following parameters:

• range of IP addresses

• subnet mask

• default router IP address

• WINS server IP address(es) or DDNS server IP address(es)

• lease duration

2. Activate the scope.

The AXIS 5400 automatically downloads the DHCP parameters.

If you are using WINS or DDNS, you should include at least one

WINS or DDNS server IP address in the DHCP scope. Immediately

after the IP address has been received, the AXIS 5400 registers its host

name and IP address on the WINS alternatively DDNS server. Refer

to Registering and Resolving Host Names, on page 27 for more

information.

The AXIS 5400 can automatically download a customized config file

from a TFTP server. Just add the name of the config file and the

TFTP server’s IP address to your DHCP scope. The config file is

downloaded immediately after the AXIS 5400 receives its IP address.

Note: ❏ You do not have to restart the AXIS 5400 to download the IP

address.
