Section 3: Configuring the AXIS 700 AXIS 700 User’s Manual 34
• Set IP Address Automatically - Check the methods you want to
use for automatically downloading the IP address at start-up.
Depending on how your network has been configured, other
Internet-related parameters such as the default router, subnet
mask, mail server, time server etc. might also be set automatically.
However, we recommend that you verify the settings when the
AXIS 700 has been restarted and then enter any missing
parameters manually. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol) allow automatic but temporary assignment of IP
addresses from a central pool, BOOTP (Boot Protocol)
downloads the IP address to each device automatically. It operates
on the entire network and RARP (Reverse Address Resolution
Protocol) downloads the IP address to each device automatically.
It operates within a single network segment only.
• IP Address - Specify the IP address of your AXIS 700, e.g.
172.19.2.254. You should acquire a unique and unused address
from the Network Administrator in order to prevent conflicts
with other network devices.
Notes:
o If the IP address is changed, you must re-establish the HTTP
communication using the new IP address.
o If DHCP, BOOTP or RARP is enabled, your manual settings
might be overridden when you restart the AXIS 700.
o You can also set the IP address from the AXIS 700 control panel,
see the AXIS 700 User’s Guide.
• Default Router - Specify the IP address for the default router.
The setting 0.0.0.0 indicates that no default router is used.
• Subnet Mask - Specify the subnet mask used for determining
when the traffic should be sent via a router. The setting 0.0.0.0
indicates that automatic router sensing is used.
• Domain Name - Specify the name of the domain to which the
AXIS 700 belongs. Domain refers to a set of computers on a
network that have been assigned a group name.
