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 M10 Series by host name, which
is always the same, regardless of the IP address.

network router.
IPv4 Address Configuration - Wireless (AXIS M1011-W/AXIS M1031-W) -
configuration for IPv4 Address - wireless. The configuration is similar as for the Ethernet option.
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
M10 Series 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 per-
form the installation again.
Use the following IP address
To use a static IP address for the AXIS M10 Series Network Camera, check the radio button and then make the following
settings:
• IP address - Specify a unique IP address for your 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 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 - Wireless (AXIS M1011-W/AXIS M1031-W) -
configuration for IPv6 Address - wireless. The configuration is similar to the Ethernet option.
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.
Check the box to enable IPv6. Other settings for IPv6 are configured in the
