Performance considerations

When setting up your system, it is important to consider how various settings and situations affect the amount of needed bandwidth
(the bitrate) required.
The following factors are the most important to consider:
• Heavy network utilization due to poor infrastructure affects the bandwidth.
If the firmware upgrade fails, the device reloads the previous firmware. The most common reason
is that the wrong firmware file has been uploaded. Check that the name of the firmware file
corresponds to your device and try again.
If the IP address intended for the device and the IP address of the computer used to access the
device are located on different subnets, you cannot set the IP address. Contact your network
administrator to obtain an IP address.
Disconnect the Axis device from the network. Run the ping command (in a Command/DOS window,
type ping and the IP address of the device):
• If you receive: Reply from <IP address>:
this means that the IP address may already be in use by another device on the network.
Obtain a new IP address from the network administrator and reinstall the device.
• If you receive: Request timed out, this means that the IP address is available
for use with the Axis device. Check all cabling and reinstall the device.
The static IP address in the Axis device is used before the DHCP server sets a dynamic address.
This means that if the same default static IP address is also used by another device, there may
be problems accessing the device.
When HTTPS is enabled, ensure that the correct protocol (HTTP or HTTPS) is used when attempting
to log in. You may need to manually type http or https in the browser's address field.
If the password for the user root is lost, the device must be reset to the factory default settings.
See Reset to factory default settings on page 17.
IP addresses obtained from a DHCP server are dynamic and may change. If the IP address has been
changed, use AXIS IP Utility or AXIS Device Manager to locate the device on the network. Identify
the device using its model or serial number, or by the DNS name (if the name has been configured).
