IPv4 and IPv6 Address Configuration
The AXIS 243Q Blade supports both IP version 4 and IP version 6. Both versions may be
enabled simultaneously, and at least one version must always be enabled.
When using IPv4, the IP address can be set automatically via DHCP, or a static IP address
can be set manually.
If IPv6 is enabled, your camera will receive an IP address according to the configuration in
the network router.
There are also options for setting up notification of changes in the IP address, and for
using the AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service. For more information on setting the IP
address, please see the online help .
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 AXIS 243Q Blade by host
name which is 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 2 minutes after the unit is started, or as
soon as an IP address is set.
• Pinging the unit will still be possible when this service is disabled.
AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service - If the AXIS 243Q Blade has been registered with the
Axis Internet Dynamic DNS service and the IP address for the product changes, the service
is updated to reflect the change. Check the box to enable/disable automatic updates.
The domain name currently registered at the Axis Internet Dynamic DNS service for your
product can at any time be removed. To do this click Settings... and follow the
instructions. For more information, please refer to the online help .
