Axis Communications 241S Manuel D’Utilisation

       Coaxial cable

Connect the video output of your 

camera(s) to the AXIS 241Q/241S video 

server using a standard 75 Ohm coaxial 

video cable with BNC connectors.

Use a RCA-to-BNC adapter if your camera has a standard phono-type (RCA) connector.

The AXIS 241Q/241S is designed for installation on an Ethernet network. This involves 

assigning it an IP address, either manually or via an automated network service (DHCP). 

Select one of the following procedures depending on your network: 

• In Windows, use AXIS IP Utility to discover a dynamic IP address, or to set the IP address 

manually.

• If your network uses a DHCP server, view its administration pages to discover which IP 

address has been assigned to your AXIS 241Q/241S. 

• If your network uses a DHCP server and your computer is running UPnP™, the AXIS 

241Q/241S will automatically be detected and displayed on your screen. See page 12.

• Assign an IP address manually using the ARP/Ping method, as described on page 13.
• If your network has an Internet connection (with no HTTP proxy) and uses a DHCP server 

to assign IP addresses, use the One-Click installation procedure. See page 15.

• The AXIS 241Q/241S has a default IP address: 

• DHCP is enabled by default in the AXIS 241Q/241S
• UPnP™ is enabled by default in the AXIS 241Q/241S

AXIS IP Utility is a free Windows 

application that discovers and displays 

Axis devices on your network. The 

application can also be used to 

manually set a static IP address.
