Setting the IP address
The Axis Video Server is designed for use on an Ethernet network and must be assigned an IP
address to make it accessible.
AXIS IP Utility
All installation methods
This table shows all of the available methods for setting or discovering the IP address. Select a
method from the left-hand column and check the requirements for it to the right.
Notes:
• UPnP™ and DHCP are both enabled by default.
• The Axis Video Server has the default IP address 192.168.0.90
• To view the admin pages for the DHCP server, please see the server’s own documentation. You may need to
contact your network administrator.
• If setting the IP address fails, check that there is no firewall blocking the operation.
• If you would like to use a language other than English for the web interface of your Axis camera, it can be
downloaded from www.axis.com/techsup/. See “The AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service” on page 10.
AXIS IP Utility is the recommended method for setting an IP address in Windows. This free application can
be used on networks with or without a DHCP server. See page 8 for more information.
