Network

Basic TCP/IP Settings
AXIS P1311 support both IP version 4 and IP version 6. Both versions may be enabled simultaneously, and at least one version
must always be enabled. When using IPv4, the IP address for the camera can be set automatically via DHCP, or a static IP
address can be set manually. If IPv6 is enabled, the network cameras receive an IP address according to the configuration in
the network router. There are also options for setting up notification of changes in the IP address, and for using the AXIS
Internet Dynamic DNS Service. For more information on setting the IP address, please see the online help.

IPv4 Address Configuration -
Obtain IP address via DHCP -
centrally manage and automate the assignment of IP addresses on a network. DHCP is enabled by default. Although a DHCP
server is mostly used to set an IP address dynamically, it is also possible to use it to set a static, known IP address for a
particular MAC address.
Note:
DHCP should only be enabled if your DHCP server can update a DNS server, which then allows you to access AXIS
P1311 by name (host name). If DHCP is enabled and you cannot access the unit, run AXIS IP Utility to search the net-
work for connected Axis products or reset the network camera to factory default settings and then perform the instal-
lation again.

resetting of the IP address.
Notes:
• The ARP/Ping service is automatically disabled two minutes after the unit is started, or as soon as an IP address is set.
In order to reset the IP address, the camera must be restarted to activate ARP/Ping for an additional two minutes.
• Pinging the unit is still possible when this service is disabled.
AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service - Use AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service to assign a host name for easy access to your
network camera (requires Internet access).
