AXIS 216FD/FD-V - System Options

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 network cameras by the host

names which are 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 two minutes after the unit is started, or as soon as an IP

address is set.

• Pinging the unit is still possible when this service is disabled.

change. Click Settings... and enter the required information.
