Network - Basic TCP/IP Settings

IP Address Configuration
The AXIS 211M supports 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 AXIS 211M can be set automatically via DHCP, or a static IP address
can be set manually.
If IPv6 is enabled, the AXIS 211M will 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.
Notes:
•DHCP is a protocol for automatic IP address assignment on a network. IP address assignment via DHCP may lead to the
situation where the IP address changes and you lose contact with the camera. Configure the options for notification of IP
address change (under Services) to receive notification from the camera when the IP address changes.
•Alternatively, if your DHCP server can update a DNS server, you can access the AXIS 211M by host name which is always
the same, regardless of the IP address.
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 2 minutes after the unit is started, or as soon as an IP address is set.
•Pinging the unit will still be possible when this service is disabled.
Options for notification of IP address change - If the IP address for the camera changes, e.g. automatically by
DHCP, you can choose to be notified of the change. Click Settings... and enter the required information.
AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service - Use the AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS service to assign a host name for
easy access to your AXIS 211M Network Camera (requires Internet access).
Click Settings... to register the AXIS 211M 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.
