AXIS Q7406 - System Options
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 using dynamic IP address notification (see below), or if your DHCP server can update a
DNS server, which then allows you to access the AXIS Q7406 by name (host name). If DHCP is enabled and you cannot
access the unit, you may have to reset it to the factory default settings and then perform the installation again.
Use the following IP address - To use a static IP address for the AXIS Q7406, check the radio button and then make the
following settings:
• IP address - Specify a unique IP address for your AXIS Q7406. (To check if the IP address you intend to use is available or
not, click the Test button)
• Subnet mask - Specify the mask for the subnet the AXIS Q7406 is located on
• Default router - Specify the IP address of the default router (gateway) used for connecting devices attached to different
networks and network segments.
IPv6 Address Configuration - Check the box 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.
• Pinging the unit is still possible when this service is disabled.
AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service - Use the AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS service to assign a host name for easy access to
your video encoder (requires Internet access).
Click Settings... to register the camera with the Axis Internet Dynamic DNS service, or to modify the existing settings (requires
access to the Internet). The domain name currently registered at the Axis Internet Dynamic DNS service for your product can
at any time be removed.

button to see the current settings.
Use the following DNS server address - enter the desired DNS server by specifying the following:
Domain name - enter the domain(s) to search for the host name used by the video encoders. Multiple domains can be
separated by semicolons (;). The host name is always the first part of a Fully Qualified Domain Name, for example, myserver is
the host name in the Fully Qualified Domain Name myserver.mycompany.com where mycompany.com is the Domain name.
DNS servers - enter the IP addresses of the primary, and secondary DNS servers.
Note:
This is not mandatory with regard to secondary DNS servers.
NTP Configuration - Obtain NTP server address via DHCP - check this radio button to automatically look up and use the
NTP server settings as provided by DHCP. Click the View button to see the current settings.
