Set the IP address with ARP/Ping
1. Acquire a free static IP address on the same network segment your computer is connected to.
2. Locate the serial number (S/N) on the AXIS Q7401 label.
3. Open a command prompt on your computer and enter the following commands:
Windows syntax
arp -s <IP Address> <Serial Number>
ping -l 408 -t <IP Address>
UNIX/Linux/Mac syntax
arp -s <IP Address> <Serial Number> temp
ping -s 408 <IP Address>
4. Check that the network cable is connected to the AXIS Q7401 and then start/restart the AXIS
Q7401, by disconnecting and reconnecting power. If PoE is used, start/restart the AXIS Q7401
by disconnecting and then reconnecting the network cable.
5. Close the command prompt when you see 'Reply from 192.168.0.125:...' or similar.
6. In your browser, type in http://<IP address> in the Location/Address field and press Enter on
your keyboard.
Notes:
• To open a command prompt in Windows: from the Start menu, select Run... and type cmd. Click OK.
• To use the ARP command on a Mac OS X, use the Terminal utility in Application > Utilities.
Notes
When enabled on your computer, the video encoder is
automatically detected and added to "My Network Places."
Applicable to browsers with support for Bonjour. Navigate to the
Bonjour bookmark in your browser (e.g. Safari) and click on the
link to access the video encoder's web pages.
A free service from Axis that allows you to quickly and simply
install your video encoder. Requires an Internet connection with
no HTTP proxy. See www.axiscam.net for more information.
See below. The command must be issued within 2 minutes of
connecting power to the video encoder.
