Automatic discovery
1. When connected to the power supply and the network, wait for the Status Indicator on
the front of the camera to show a steady green.
2. Insert the CD into your computer’s CD drive.
3. Start AXIS IP Utility. When the AXIS 206 appears in the window, double-click it to
open its home page. If the camera is not accessible, this might be because its IP address
is not valid on that network. Right-click on the camera to set the IP address manually.
Set the IP address manually
1. If the AXIS 206 does not appear in the window at all, click the Refresh button to try
again. If the camera still does not appear, you can set the IP address manually. Acquire
an unused IP address on the same subnet as your computer.
2. Click the button “Set IP address using serial number” and enter the serial number (see
page 10) and IP address for the AXIS 206. Follow the on - screen instructions.
Note:
After using AXIS IP Utility, the AXIS 206 can be assigned a DNS name by using the AXIS Dynamic DNS
Service. See page 11.
