To establish communication with the TCP/IP network, an IP address must be 
assigned to your AXIS 540/640. Choose an appropriate method from the table below:

All methods are enabled by default. This means that if you have a DHCP server 
running on your network, the AXIS 540/640 will receive an IP address immediately 
after you have connected it into the network.

AXIS IP Installer is a Windows utility that allows you to set the IP address of your 
AXIS 540/640. AXIS IP Installer is supplied on the AXIS Online CD. It can also be 
downloaded from the Axis WWW home page at http://www.axis.com/.

Refer to the AXIS 540/640 User’s Manual for a more comprehensive description of 
the available methods.

If you are using host names, you can map a unique host name to the IP address. The 
AXIS 540/640 supports WINS (Windows Internet Name Service) and DDNS 
(Dynamic Domain Name System), which are recommended to use for host name 
resolution when setting the IP address using DHCP.

WINS only supports 15 character long host names. If your host name is longer than 
15 characters, your AXIS 540/640 truncates the host name to 15 characters when 
registering with a WINS server.

DDNS supports 53 character long host names, but they can only consist of the 
characters ‘A-Z’, ’a-z’ and ‘-’. If your host name consists of any other characters, they 
are converted to ‘-’, when registering with a DDNS server.

Refer to your system manuals or to your network administrator for instructions on 
how the host name resolution is performed on your system.
