The System Options

AXIS 230

Manual IP Configuration

IP Address -

Specify a unique IP address for your camera, to establish communication with

your network. Written as four numbers separated by periods, each number in the address

must be in the range 0 - 255. For example: 192.168.0.125

Note:

IP addresses can be assigned at random within isolated networks, provided that

each given address is unique. To avoid unnecessary clashes, it is strongly recom-

mended 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 subnet the AXIS 230 is located on.

Host Name -

The host name entered here will be used in email sent by the AXIS 230, and in

the unit’s log files. If the AXIS 230 uses a DNS name on the network, it can be a good idea

to use the same name for the host name and the DNS name.

DNS

Domain Name -

Enter the name of the domain your AXIS 230 belongs to.

Primary DNS Server -

Enter the IP address of the primary DNS server. This server provides the

translation of domain names to IP addresses on your network.

Secondary DNS Server -

This is used if the primary DNS server is unavailable.

HTTP

Port number -

Enter the HTTP port the AXIS 230 will use. The default setting is 80. Alterna-

tively, any port in the range 1024-65535 may be used, but check first with your system

administrator before changing the default setting. See also the special considerations con-

cerning the firewall settings, on page 31.

Network Traffic

This can be used to change the network speed for your camera. Normally, there is no need

to use anything other than Auto-negotiate, which will automatically select the correct

media type. However, if you are using a switch or similar device on your network and need

to specify the media type, then this can be done by selecting the correct type from the

drop-down list.
