AXIS 231D/232D - System Options
Network - Basic TCP/IP Settings
IP Address Configuration- the IP address of the Network Dome Camera can be set
automatically via DHCP, or a fixed IP address can be set manually. DHCP is enabled by
default. To use a fixed IP address, you must also enter the correct subnet mask and default
router.
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. Configure the options for
notification of IP address change (under Services) to receive notification from the network camera when
the IP address changes.
• Alternatively, if your DHCP server can update a DNS server, you can access the AXIS 231D/232D by host
name which is always the same, regardless of the IP address.
