Connecting the Video Server
1. Note the serial number of your video server for future reference during the installation
procedure. This is located on the underside label of the video server.
2. Connect your video server to the network with twisted pair category 5 cable (10baseT and
100baseTX) terminated using a standard RG-45 connector.
3. Connect the power supply to the video server.
4. Check that the Power indicator is constantly lit.
Assigning an IP Address
To enable access to your video server you must first assign it an appropriate Internet Address.
Before you begin:
Mapping a Host Name to the IP Address
If you are using host names, you can map a unique host name to the acquired IP address. Refer to
your system manuals or to your Network Administrator for instructions on how to perform the
name mapping on your particular system.
Note: If the host name has not been included in the system host table, you can still perform the follow-
ing instructions on how to download the IP address. In this case, simply replace the host name
entry with the IP address wherever required
• Make sure the camera server is powered up and attached to the network.
• IP Address: Acquire an unused IP address from your Network Administrator.
• System Privileges: You need root privileges on your UNIX system and administrator privileges on
Windows NT servers.
• Ethernet Address: Each AXIS 2400 is pre-configured with a unique Ethernet Address that is based
upon the unit serial number, which you can find printed on the underside label of the unit. You will
need to know the Ethernet address of your Video Server to install the unit.
