Network
Basic TCP/IP Settings
AXIS Q6032-E 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.
Network Settings - Click the View button for an overview of the IP configuration of the network camera.
IPv4 Address Configuration - Check this box to enable IPv4.
Obtain IP address via DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol that lets network administrators
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 the AXIS
Q6032-E Dome Network Camera by name (host name). If DHCP is enabled and you cannot access the unit, run AXIS IP
Utility to search the network for connected Axis products or reset the network camera to factory default settings and
then perform the installation again.
Use the following IP address - To use a static IP address for the AXIS Q6032-E Dome Network Camera, check the radio
button and then make the following settings:
• IP address - Specify a unique IP address for your AXIS Q6032-E Dome Network Camera. (To check if the IP address you
intend to use is available or not, click the Test button)
• Subnet mask - Specify the mask for the subnet the AXIS Q6032-E Dome Network Camera is located on
• Default router - Specify the IP address of the default router (gateway) used for connecting devices attached to different
networks and network segments.
IPv6 Address Configuration - Check the box to enable IPv6. Other settings for IPv6 are configured in the network router.
Services - Enable ARP/Ping setting of IP address - The IP address can be set using the ARP/Ping method, which associates
the unit's MAC address with an IP address. Check this box to enable the service. Leave disabled to prevent unintentional
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 the AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS service to assign a host name for easy access to
your network camera (requires Internet access).
Click Settings... to register the camera with the Axis Internet Dynamic DNS service, or to modify the existing settings (requires
access to the Internet). The domain name currently registered at the Axis Internet Dynamic DNS service for your product can
at any time be removed.
For more information, please refer to the online help.
Advanced TCP/IP Settings
DNS Configuration - DNS (Domain Name Service) provides the translation of host names to IP addresses on your network.
