Network - Basic TCP/IP Settings
Network Interface Mode
This setting controls how the wired and wireless network interfaces are used. It is not
possible to use both interfaces simultaneously.
IP Address Configuration
These settings are grouped according to the network interface and the version of Internet
Protocol (IP). The AXIS 207MW supports both IP version 4 and IP version 6. Both versions
may be enabled simultaneously, and at least one version must always be enabled.
When using IPv4, the IP address for the camera can be set automatically via DHCP, or a
static IP address can be set manually. If IPv6 is enabled, the camera will receive an IP
address according to the configuration in the network router.
There are also options for setting up notification of changes in the IP address, and for
using the AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service. For more information on setting IP
addresses, please see the online help.
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 207MW by host name
which is always the same, regardless of the IP address.
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 2 minutes after the unit is started, or as soon as an IP address
is set.
Pinging the unit will still be possible when this service is disabled.
Options for notification of IP address change - If the IP address for the camera changes,
e.g. automatically by DHCP, you can choose to be notified of the change. Click Settings...
and enter the required information.
