If the IP address intended for the product and the IP address of the computer used to access the
product are located on different subnets, you will not be able to set the IP a ddress. Contact your
network administrator to obtain an IP address.
The IP address is being used
by another device
Disconnect the Axis product from the network. Run the Ping command (in a Command/DOS
window, type ping and the IP address of the product:
•Ifyoureceive:Reply from <IP address>: bytes=32; time=10...
this means that the IP address may already be in use by another d evice on the network.
Obtain a new IP address from the network administrator and reinstall the product.
•Ifyoureceive:Request timed out, this means that the IP address is available for
use with the Axis product. Check all cabling and reinstall the product.
Possible IP address conflict
with another device on the
same subnet.
