Assign an IP address
Most networks today have a DHCP server that automatically assigns IP addresses to connected
devices. If your network does not have a DHCP server the AXIS Q7401 will use 192.168.0.90 as the
default IP address.
AXIS IP Utility and AXIS Camera Management are recommended methods for setting an IP
address in Windows. These free applications are available on the Axis Network Video Product CD
supplied with this product, or they can be downloaded from www.axis.com/techsup. Depending on
the number of cameras you wish to install, use the method that suits you best.
Notes:
• If assigning the IP address fails, check that there is no firewall blocking the operation.
• For other methods of assigning or discovering the IP address of the AXIS Q7401, e.g. in other operating
systems, see page 11.
