Symptoms, Possible Causes and Remedial Actions
Symptoms Possible causes Remedial actions
The AXIS 2460 cannot be
accessed from a browser. The IP address is already
being used by another
device. 1. Disconnect your AXIS 2460 from the network.
2. Run the Ping utility (as described in Pinging Your IP Address, on
page 55) and follow the appropriate recommendations.
Note: The assigned IP number can be assumed valid if Ping returns
“request timed out” - in which case you should set the IP address
again, power-up the unit and then try accessing it again.
The IP address is located on a
different subnet. Run the Ping utility (as described in Pinging Your IP Address, on
page 55). If this returns
no response
or similar, then this
diagnosis is probably correct.
In Windows, check that the IP address for your AXIS 2460 is on the
same subnet as your workstation. Exactly how this is done varies
from one version of Windows to another. See Windows’ help for
more information.
If your AXIS 2460 and your workstation are on different subnets,
you will not be able to set the IP address. Contact your network
administrator.
The IP address has changed. Check that there is no BOOTP server running on your network.
Possible problem with your
proxy server. Try disabling the proxy default in your browser.
Other networking problems. Test the network cable by connecting it to some other network
device and then Pinging that device from your workstation.
Test the network interface by connecting a local computer to the
unit, using a standard Crossover (hub-to-hub) Cable.
If the above actions do not resolve the problem, the AXIS 2460 may
be faulty. In this case, try to localize the problem by connecting the
unit to the serial port of a local computer, using the supplied Null
Modem Cable and report your findings to your local distributor.
The AXIS 2460 works locally,
but not externally. Firewall protection. Check the Internet firewall with your system administrator.
Default routers required. Check if you need to configure the default router settings.
Proxy not specified. Add the proxy server to the list of allowed IP addresses.
