Alternative Methods of Assigning the IP Address
In addition to the ARP command (as described earlier in this section), you can set the IP address
using an appropriate method for your operating system from the table below:
When accessing the Administrator Tools for the first time during a browser session, you will not be
prompted for your username and password. You will be assumed to be the Administrator and will be
automatically logged on as such, using the username root and the default password pass. This root pass-
word must, however, be changed as soon as possible, to enable the security function. Furthermore, all
Axis products are shipped with the same password as default. For further information, refer to System
Security, on page 30.
•
Do not use the default or IP address featured in the following examples when installing your AXIS
2120. Consult your Network Administrator and acquire an unused IP address.
•
Make sure the AXIS 2120 is powered up and attached to the network.
•
Server Privileges: Although no special privileges are required for Windows 95/98, you do need
Administrator privileges for Windows NT/2000, and Root privileges on UNIX systems.
•
Ethernet Address: The AXIS 2120 is pre-configured with a unique Ethernet Address based upon the
serial number printed on the underside label of the unit; where the serial number typically follows
the format 00-40-8c-xx-yy-zz. You must know the Ethernet address to complete the installation.

BOOTP
Requiring a BOOTP daemon on your system, this
method operates over the entire network. A
request to an active daemon initiates a search of
the boot table to find an entry matching the unit’s
Ethernet address. The daemon downloads the IP
address to the device if a match is found.
