The System Options
AXIS 230
34
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.
