Appendix D - 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 2460 using any of the
following methods - as appropriate for your operating system:
Notes: •Do not use the default or IP address featured in these examples when installing your AXIS 2460.
If in doubt, consult your network administrator to obtain an unused IP address.
•Make sure the AXIS 2460 is powered up and attached to the network.
•Server Privileges: Although no special privileges are required for Windows 98, ME or XP (Home),
you do need Administrator privileges for Windows NT, 2000 and Windows XP (Professional).
UNIX systems require Root privileges.
•Ethernet/Mac Address: The AXIS 2460 is pre-configured with a unique Ethernet/Mac address
based upon the serial number printed on the label on the rear of the unit; where the serial num-
ber typically follows the format 00-40-8c-xx-yy-zz. You must know the Ethernet/Mac address
to complete the installation.

BOOTP
Requiring a BOOTP daemon on your system, this method oper-
ates over the entire network. A request to an active daemon ini-
tiates 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.
