AXIS 216FD Installation Guide
4. Assign an IP address
To make it accessible on the network, the AXIS 216FD must be assigned an IP address.
Depending on the number of cameras you wish to install, the recommended method for
setting IP addresses in Windows is either
AXIS IP Utility
or
AXIS Camera Management
. Use
the method that best suits your purpose.
Both of these applications are free of charge and are available on the Axis Network Video
Product CD supplied with this product, or they can be downloaded from www.axis.com/
techsup
Notes:
• A network DHCP server is optional.
• The AXIS 216FD has the default IP address 192.168.0.90
• If setting the IP address fails, check that there is no firewall blocking the operation.
• For other methods of setting or discovering the IP address of the AXIS 216FD, e.g. in other operating
systems, see page 11.
