Before you begin

Make sure the AXIS 700 is powered on and attached to the network.

System Privileges

You will need administrator privileges on the Windows NT server or 
root privileges on the UNIX system.

Ethernet Address

Depending on the method you are using, you will need to know the 
Ethernet address of your AXIS 700. The Ethernet address is based 
upon the AXIS 700 serial number. You will find the number on the 
underside label. 

Internet Address

Acquire an unused Internet address from your Network 
Administrator.

† Do not use the Internet address used in the examples.

Mapping a Host Name

to the Internet

Address

If you are using host names, you can map a unique host name to the 
acquired Internet address. Refer to your system manuals or to your 
Network Administrator for instructions on how to perform the name 
mapping on your particular system.

† If the host name has not been included in the system host table, 

you can still perform the following instructions on how to 
download the Internet address. In this case, simply replace the 
host name entry with the Internet address wherever needed.

Using DHCP

Follow these steps to use the DHCP method: 

1. Edit or create a scope in the DHCP manager of the DHCP 

daemon. For Windows NT servers, refer to the “Windows NT 
Resource Kit” on how to do this. The entries made in this scope 
typically include the following parameters:

• Range of Internet addresses
• Subnet  mask
• Default router Internet address
• Lease duration
• Mail server Internet address
• DNS server Internet address
• Domain name
• NTP server Internet address

2. Activate the scope.

In the AXIS 700 configuration file, DHCP is enabled by default. The 
Internet address and all the other settings will be downloaded 
automatically. You do not need to restart the AXIS 700.

Using ARP in

Windows

In Windows 95 and Windows NT, you can download the Internet 
address using ARP. Perform the following commands to download the 
Internet address and verify the communication.

From the DOS prompt,

 

type the following:

The 

Ethernet address

 

equals the serial number of the AXIS 700 

with each pair of digits separated by a hyphen.

arp -s <Internet address> <Ethernet address>

ping <Internet address>

arp -s 172.16.253.80 00-40-8c-11-00-86

ping 172.16.253.80

The host will return 

‘Reply from 172.16.253.80...’

 or a similar 

message. This indicates that the address has been set and that the 
communication is established.

† Windows 95 only: If the ARP table is empty, you must first ping 

an existing unit on your network before setting the Internet 
address of your AXIS 700. Type 

arp -a

 to display the ARP table.

† Once the AXIS 700 has established communication using an 

appropriate Internet address, the 

arp/ping

 commands cannot be 

used to change the address. The reason for this is to avoid 
accidental or unauthorized changes of the Internet address. 
Restart the AXIS 700 to make it accept the setting of the Internet 
address. You can perform a restart remotely via the AXIS 700 web 
interface. See “Specifying System Settings ”on page 36.

† When you execute the 

ping

 

command for the first time, the 

response time may be significantly longer than usual.

Using ARP in

UNIX and OS/2

In UNIX and OS/2, type the following commands to download the 
Internet address and verify the communication:

The 

Ethernet address

 or 

node address

 equals the AXIS 700 serial 

number with each pair of digits separated by a colon.

The host will return 

‘spserv is alive’ 

or a similar message. This 

indicates that the address has been set and that communication is 
established.

arp -s <host name> <Ethernet or node address> temp

ping <host name>

arp -s spserv 00:40:8c:11:00:86 temp

ping spserv

† The 

arp -s

 command may vary between different systems. Some 

BSD-type systems expect the host name and Ethernet address in 
reverse order. IBM AIX systems require the additional argument 

ether

 for Ethernet networks, e.g. 

arp -s ether spserv 

00:40:8c:11:00:86 temp 

† Once the AXIS 700 has established communications using an 

appropriate Internet address, the 

arp/ping

 commands cannot be 

used to change the address. The reason is to avoid accidental or 
unauthorized change of the Internet address. Restart the AXIS 
700 to make it accept the setting. You can perform a restart 
remotely via the AXIS 700 web interface. See “Specifying System 
Settings ”on page 36.

† When you execute the 

ping

 

command for the first time, the 

response time may be significantly longer than usual.

Using RARP

in UNIX

Follow these steps to download the Internet address using the RARP 
method:

1. Append the following line to your Ethernet address table. This is 

typically performed by editing the file

 

/etc/ethers

.

2. If necessary, update your host table and alias name databases as 

required by your system.

3. Start the RARP daemon, if it is not already running. This is typically 

performed using the command 

rarpd -a

4. Restart the AXIS 700 to download the Internet address. You can 

perform a restart remotely via the AXIS 700 web interface. See 
“Specifying System Settings ”on page 36.
