Appendix A - Other IP Setup Methods

Important!
The AXIS 250S was developed for use with Microsoft Internet Explorer (5.5 or higher) running on Win-
dows XP or 2000. Windows Millennium is not supported, but the video stream may still be available.
As an alternative to the ARP command (as described on page 12), you can set the IP address
for your AXIS 250S using any of the following methods - as appropriate for your network
operating system:
Method
AXIS IP Installer (requires BOOTP or DHCP to
be enabled in the AXIS 250S's TCP/IP settings)
DHCP (disabled by default)
BOOTP (enabled by default)
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 250S is powered up and connected to the network.
• Acquire an unused IP address from your Network Administrator before installing the
AXIS 250S.
• Although no special privileges are required for Windows XP (Home), you will need
Administrator privileges for Windows 2000 and XP (Professional). UNIX systems require
Root privileges.
• MAC/Ethernet Address: The AXIS 250S is pre-configured with a unique MAC/Ethernet
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
MAC/Ethernet address to complete the installation.
