For example if your computer has an IP of 10.1.1.30 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 you will not be able to assign an IP of 207.242.7.96.
Make sure it is an address your computer could reach. Check the IP address you are trying to assign to the camera.You should see “Reply from…” within 1 minute of reapplying the power to the camera. If you see “Request timed out…” then unplug the camera from its power and plug it back in while the ping is running. If you see “Reply from…”, then the IP has been set successfully.Īt this point you can press CTRL and C at the same time to break out of the ping. The next step is to ping the unit with a -t on the end of the ping statement. Tip: If you issue an arp -a you should see that entry in your arp cache. It is located on the back of the camera and labeled as the serial number. The MAC address of the camera will start with 00-40-8c-xx-xx-xx. Notice the : instead of – in the MAC address. The syntax for the ARP command is as follows: arp -sįor example on Microsoft Windows the command would look like this:Ĭ:\>arp -s 192.168.1.35 00-40-8c-5d-54-34 192.168.1.5 From Unix/Linux you will need to open a console. You can also find an icon for the program under the programs or accessories folder. Type either ‘cmd’ or ‘command’ to open the prompt. To do this click the ‘Start’ button and then click ‘Run’.
To use the ARP and Ping commands on a Windows PC you must open a command prompt. The ARP and ping commands can be used from any Microsoft Windows or Unix/Linux platform. Assigning an IP address to the camera must be performed from a computer on the same network segment as the camera.ĪXIS IP Utility Version 1 is available as a free application that detects and assigns an IP to the Axis camera on Microsoft Windows PCs: AXIS IP Utility page. There are three methods to assigning an IP address.
