1. Edit or create a scope in the DHCP manager of the DHCP
daemon. The entries included in this scope should contain the
following parameters:
• range of IP addresses
• subnet mask
• default router IP address
• WINS server IP address(es) or DDNS server IP address(es)
• lease duration
2. Activate the scope.
The AXIS 1620 automatically downloads the DHCP parameters.
If you are using WINS or DDNS, you should include at least one
WINS or DDNS server IP address in the DHCP scope. Immediately
after the IP address has been received, the AXIS 1620 registers its host
name and IP address on the WINS alternatively DDNS server. Refer
to Registering and Resolving Host Names, on page 28 for more
information.

downloaded immediately after the AXIS 1620 receives its IP address.
