AXIS 2460 User’s Manual System Options 39
Network Settings
From the Network Settings, configure the TCP/IP network settings as follows:
Automatic Configuration
Enable BOOTP - Check this box to use BOOTP to automatically assign an IP address. This
requires a BOOTP server on your system.
Manual Configuration
IP Address - Specify a unique 32-bit IP address for your Network DVR, to establish
communication with your network. Written as four numbers separated by periods, each
number within the address must be in the range 0 - 255. For example: 123.123.123.123
Note: IP addresses can be assigned at random within isolated networks, provided that
each given address is unique. To avoid unnecessary number duplication and IP
clashes, only use registered IP addresses when connecting to the Internet. It is
strongly recommended that you contact your network administrator prior to
assigning an IP address for your product.
Default Router - Specify the default router (Gateway) used for connecting to other networks
and network segments.
Subnet Mask - Specify the subnet mask for the Network DVR.
Host Name - If you are running a DNS server on your network and wish to connect to the
AXIS 2460 using a name, then enter the product’s host name here. The host name is
usually the same as the assigned DNS Name. A host name is always the first part of a Fully
Qualified Domain Name and is always one word, with no period. For example,
myserver
is the host name in the Fully Qualified Domain Name
myserver.axis.com
.
Domain Name - Enter the name of the domain your AXIS 2460 belongs to.
Primary DNS Server - Enter the IP address of the primary DNS server. This specifies the server
that normally provides the translation of domain names to IP addresses on your network. If
the server is not able to resolve a domain name immediately, it will then distribute the
domain name query to other DNS servers on the network.
Secondary DNS Server - Specify the IP address of the secondary DNS server. This is the
address of the server normally used to provide the domain name translation if the primary
DNS server is unavailable.
