AXIS P7701 - System Options
From the Time Mode section, select the preferred method to use for setting the time:
• Synchronize with computer time - sets the time from the clock on your computer.
• Synchronize with NTP Server - the decoder will obtain the time from an NTP server continuously.
• Set manually - this option allows you to manually set the time and date.
Note: If using a host name for the NTP server, a DNS server must be configured under TCP/IP settings.
See Network > Basic TCP/IP Settings below.
Network
Basic TCP/IP Settings
Your Axis video decoder 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 decoder can be set automatically via DHCP, or a
static IP address can be set manually. If IPv6 is enabled, the video decoders 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 the IP address, please see the online help
.
Network Settings - Click the View button for an overview of the IP configuration of the video decoder.
IPv4 Address Configuration - Select the Enable IPv4 box option to enable IPv4.
Obtain IP address via DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol that lets network administrators
centrally manage and automate the assignment of IP addresses on a network. DHCP is enabled by default. Although a DHCP
server is mostly used to set an IP address dynamically, it is also possible to use it to set a static, known IP address for a
particular MAC address.
Note: DHCP
should only be enabled if your DHCP server can update a DNS server, which then allows you to access the
video decoder by name (host name). If DHCP is enabled and you cannot access the unit, run AXIS IP Utility to search the net-
work for connected Axis products or reset the video decoder to factory default settings and then perform the installation
again.
Use the following IP address - To use a static IP address for the video decoder
, check the radio button and then make the
following settings:
• IP address -
Specify a unique IP address for your video decoder. (To check if the IP address you intend to use is avail-
able or not, click the Test button)
• Subnet mask - Specif
y the mask for the subnet the video decoder is located on
• Defaul
t router - Specify the IP address of the default router (gateway) used for connecting devices attached to differ-
ent networks and network segments
IPv6 Address Configuration - Select the Enable IPv6 box option to enable IPv6. Other settings for IPv6 are configured in
the network router.
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 two minutes after the unit is started, or as soon as an IP address is set.
In order to reset the IP address, the decoder must be restarted to activate ARP/Ping for an additional two minutes.
• Pinging the unit is still possible when this service is disabled.
AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service - U
se the AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS service to assign a host name for easy access to
your video decoder (requires Internet access).
