Using DHCP Follow the instructions below to download the IP address using
DHCP:
1. Edit or create a scope in the DHCP manager of the DHCP
daemon. The entries included in this scope should contain the
following parameters:
• range of IP addresses
• subnet mask
• default router IP address
• WINS server IP address(es) or DDNS server IP address(es)
• lease duration
2. Activate the scope.
The AXIS 540/640 automatically downloads the DHCP parameters.
If you are using WINS or DDNS, you should include at least one
WINS or DDNS server IP address in the DHCP scope. Immediately
after the IP address has been received, the AXIS 540/640 registers its
host name and IP address on the WINS alternatively DDNS server.
Refer to Registering and Resolving Host Names, on page 33 for more
information.
The AXIS 540/640 can automatically download a customized config
file from a TFTP server. Just add the name of the config file and the
TFTP server’s IP address to your DHCP scope. The config file is
downloaded immediately after the AXIS 540/640 receives its IP
address.
Note: ❏ You do not have to restart the AXIS 540/640 to download the IP
address.
