AXIS 570/670 User’s Guide Assigning an IP address 7
Assigning an IP address
To establish communication with the TCP/IP network, an IP Address must be assigned to your
AXIS 570/670. Choose an appropriate method from the table below:
Note:
All methods are enabled by default. This means that if you have a DHCP server running on your
network, the AXIS 570/670 will receive its IP address immediately after you have connected it to
the network.
As the ARP command is available in all supported environments, it is described in detail in the
table below. Refer to the AXIS 570/670 User’s Manual for a comprehensive description of the
other methods.
AXIS 570 & AXIS 570e Print Servers:
AXIS 670 & AXIS 670e Print Servers:
If you are using host names, you can map a unique host name to the IP address. Refer to your
system manuals or to your network administrator for instructions on how this is performed on your
system.
The AXIS 570/670 supports WINS (Windows Internet Name Service), which is recommended
when setting the IP address using DHCP in Windows NT environments.
