Setting the IP address
The AXIS 262 is designed for use on an Ethernet network and must be assigned an IP address
to make it accessible.
Installation methods
The available methods for setting or discovering the IP address are listed below.
•
AXIS IP Utility
- Using this free Windows application is the recommended method for set-
ting an IP address. AXIS IP Utility can be used on networks with or without a DHCP server.
Note that the AXIS 262 must be installed on the same network segment.
•
ARP/Ping
- Use these commands to manually set the IP address. Note that the AXIS 262
must be installed on the same network segment. See page 6 for more information.
• DHCP Server - View the admin pages for the DHCP server on your network to discover the
IP address assigned to the AXIS 262. For more information see the DHCP server’s own
documentation, and/or contact your network administrator.
Notes:
• DHCP is enabled by default in the AXIS 262.
• The AXIS 262 has the default IP address 192.168.0.90
• If setting the IP address fails, check that there is no firewall blocking the operation.
