Assign an IP address
To make it accessible on the network, the AXIS 243Q Blade must be assigned four IP
addresses, one for each video input.
AXIS Camera Management
AXIS Camera Management can automatically find and assign IP addresses, show connection
status, and manage firmware upgrades for multiple Axis video products.
Automatic assignment of IP addresses
AXIS Camera Management speeds up the process of assigning IP addresses to multiple
devices, by suggesting IP addresses from a specified range.
1. Check that the AXIS 243Q Blade is connected to the network and that power has been
applied.
2. Start AXIS Camera Management. The AXIS 243Q Blade appears in the window, with one
entry for each video input. These are shown as AXIS 243Q(1) Blade, AXIS 243Q(2) Blade,
AXIS 243Q(3) Blade, and AXIS 243Q(4) Blade. Double-click an entry to open the home
page for that video input.
3. See page 7 for instructions on how to set the password.

button.

program will search in the specified range and suggest an IP address for each device.
