Appendix A - Other IP Setup Methods

As an alternative to the ARP command (described earlier in the Installation section of this

manual), you can set the IP address for your AXIS 2400/2401 using any of the following

methods - as appropriate for your operating system:

Notes: •Make sure the AXIS 2400/2401 is powered up and connected to the network.

•IP Address: Acquire an unused IP address from your Network Administrator, and do NOT use the

default IP address featured in the following examples when installing your AXIS 2400/2401.

•Server Privileges: Although no special privileges are required for Windows 95/98/ME or XP

(Home), you will need Administrator privileges for Windows NT/2000 and XP (Professional).

UNIX systems require Root privileges.

Ethernet/Mac Address: The AXIS 2400/2401 is pre-configured with a unique Ethernet/Mac 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 need this address to complete the installation.

Notes for Macintosh Users

When using the AXIS 2400/01 on a Macintosh, please observe the following points:

• The AXIS 2400/2401 has a default IP address of 192.36.253.80.

• Assign a temporary IP address to a Mac workstation in the same subnet (e.g. 192.36.253.81)

and then connect to the server.

• Run the Installation wizard and set the desired IP address for the server.

• Reset the correct IP address for the Macintosh workstation.

• Changing the IP address for a Macintosh does not require a reboot.

• Currently there are limitations in the ActiveX Support in Internet Explorer running on the

Macintosh. This results in problems when viewing live moving images. The recommended solu-

tion for viewing images from the AXIS 2400/2401 on the Macintosh is to use Netscape Navi-

gator.

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 downloads the IP

address to the device if a match is found.
