Accessing the

AXIS 206W

If you set the IP address manually, you can now access the camera’s web interface simply by

starting a browser and entering the IP address.

If you selected Obtain IP address via DHCP, you have several options:

• Reconnect the USB cable, browse to the camera as before, and restart the AXIS Setup Tool. The

DHCP-assigned address will be displayed in the tool.

• If you are using e.g. a home broadband router, you may find it convenient to view the router’s

administration pages to discover which IP address has been assigned to your AXIS 206W.
Please consult the router’s documentation for further information.

• If your network has an Internet connection (with no HTTP proxy), use the

AXIS Dynamic DNS

Service to assign your camera a DNS name, which is then used to access the camera. See page
7 for more infor
mation.

• If your network uses automatic IP addressing (DHCP) and your computer uses the UPnP

TM

service, the AXIS 206W will automatically be detected and displayed on your screen. (UPnP

TM

is

a certification mark of the UPnP

TM

Implementers Corporation.)

• Use

AXIS IP Utility 2.0 to discover the IP address. See the CD included in this package.
