41 AXIS 231D+/232D+ - System Options
Network - Basic TCP/IP Settings
IP Address Configuration
Your Axis network camera supports both IP version 4 and IP version 6. Both versions may
be enabled simultaneously, and at least one version must always be enabled.
When using IPv4, the IP address can be set automatically via DHCP, or a static IP address
can be set manually.
If IPv6 is enabled, your camera will receive an IP address according to the configuration in
the network router.
There are also options for setting up notification of changes in the IP address, and for
using the AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service. For more information on setting the IP
address, please see the online help.
Notes:
• DHCP is a protocol for automatic IP address assignment on a network. IP address assignment via DHCP may
lead to the situation where the IP address changes and you lose contact with the camera. Configure the
options for notification of IP address change (under Services) to receive notification from the camera when
the IP address changes.
• Alternatively, if your DHCP server can update a DNS server, you can access the AXIS 231D+/232D+ by host
name which is always the same, regardless of the IP address.
