Basic Setup for TCP/IP

Before you begin
Assign an Internet
Address and a Host
Name
To establish communication with the TCP/IP environment, you must
assign an Internet address and make up a unique host name for your
AXIS 700. The Internet address can be set from Windows (via a DOS
window), OS/2, UNIX, or from the AXIS 700 user interface.
• You will need administrator privileges on the Windows NT server
or root privileges on your UNIX system.
• Have the serial number found on the underside label of the AXIS
700 device available.
• Make sure the AXIS 700 is powered up and attached to the
network.
• Always consult the Network Administrator before making
changes to the network configuration.
Enter the Internet address and host name into your host table using
the following instructions:
1. Acquire an unused Internet address from your Network
Administrator and make up a unique host name for your AXIS
700.
2. The host tables are normally located in these directories:
• Windows 95 - c:\windows\hosts
• Windows NT - c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
• UNIX - /etc/hosts
• OS/2 - c:\etc\hosts
