changed by DHCP
If the product and the client are on the same network, run AXIS IP Utility to locate the product.
Identify the product using its model or serial number.
Move the Axis product to an isolated network, or to one with no DHCP or BOOTP server. Set the IP
address again, using AXIS IP Utility or ARP/Ping (see the Installation Guide). Open the Setup pages
and disabled DHCP in the TCP/IP settings. Return the product to the main network. The product
now has a
fi
xed IP address that will not change.
