Accessing the AXIS 206W
If you set the IP address manually, you can now access the camera’s web interface simply by
starting a browser and entering the IP address.
If you selected Obtain IP address via DHCP, you have several options:
• Reconnect the USB cable, browse to the camera as before, and restart the AXIS Setup Tool. The
DHCP-assigned address will be displayed in the tool.
• If you are using e.g. a home broadband router, you may find it convenient to view the router’s
administration pages to discover which IP address has been assigned to your AXIS 206W.
Please consult the router’s documentation for further information.
• If your network has an Internet connection (with no HTTP proxy), use the AXIS Dynamic DNS
Service to assign your camera a DNS name, which is then used to access the camera. See page
7 for more information.
• If your network uses automatic IP addressing (DHCP) and your computer uses the UPnP TM
service, the AXIS 206W will automatically be detected and displayed on your screen. (UPnP TM is
a certification mark of the UPnP TM Implementers Corporation.)
• Use AXIS IP Utility 2.0 to discover the IP address. See the CD included in this package.
