Appendix A - Other IP Setup Methods
As an alternative to the ARP command (described earlier in the Installation section of this
manual), you can set the IP address for your AXIS 2400/2401 using any of the following
methods - as appropriate for your operating system:
Method
AXIS IP Installer
BOOTP
Requiring a BOOTP daemon on your system, 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.
Notes:
•Make sure the AXIS 2400/2401 is powered up and connected to the network.
•IP Address: Acquire an unused IP address from your Network Administrator, and do NOT use the
default IP address featured in the following examples when installing your AXIS 2400/2401.
•Server Privileges: Although no special privileges are required for Windows 95/98/ME or XP
(Home), you will need Administrator privileges for Windows NT/2000 and XP (Professional).
UNIX systems require Root privileges.
Ethernet/Mac Address: The AXIS 2400/2401 is pre-configured with a unique Ethernet/Mac Address based
upon the serial number printed on the underside label of the unit; where the serial number typically follows
the format 00-40-8c-xx-yy-zz. You need this address to complete the installation.
Notes for Macintosh Users
When using the AXIS 2400/01 on a Macintosh, please observe the following points:
• The AXIS 2400/2401 has a default IP address of 192.36.253.80.
• Assign a temporary IP address to a Mac workstation in the same subnet (e.g. 192.36.253.81)
and then connect to the server.
• Run the Installation wizard and set the desired IP address for the server.
• Reset the correct IP address for the Macintosh workstation.
• Changing the IP address for a Macintosh does not require a reboot.
• Currently there are limitations in the ActiveX Support in Internet Explorer running on the
Macintosh. This results in problems when viewing live moving images. The recommended solu-
tion for viewing images from the AXIS 2400/2401 on the Macintosh is to use Netscape Navi-
gator.
