Alternative IP Setup Methods

As an alternative to the ARP command, you can set the IP address for your AXIS
2400+/2401+ using one of the following methods depending on your operating system:
Before you begin:
• Make sure the AXIS 2400+/2401+ is powered up and connected to the network.
• Acquire an unused IP address from your Network Administrator, do NOT attempt to use the IP
address in the examples in this manual.
• No special privileges required for Windows 95/98/ME or XP (Home)
Administrator privileges required for Windows NT/2000 and XP (Professional)
Root privileges required for UNIX systems
• The AXIS 2400+/2401+ is pre-configured with a unique Ethernet/MAC Address based on the serial
number printed on the underside label of the unit.
UNIX
BOOTP - this method operates over the entire network. A request to an active daemon
initiates a search of the boot table to find an entry matching the unit's Ethernet address.
The daemon downloads the IP address to the device if a match is found (requires a BOOTP
daemon on your system).
