Assign an IP address
The AXIS M31 Network Camera Series is designed for use on an Ethernet network and requires an IP
address for access. Most networks today have a DHCP server that automatically assigns IP addresses
to connected devices. If your network does not have a DHCP server, the AXIS M31 Network Camera
Series will use 192.168.0.90 as the default IP address.
AXIS IP Utility and AXIS Camera Management are the recommended methods for setting an IP
address in Windows. These free applications are available on the Axis Network Video Product CD
supplied with this product, or they can be downloaded from www.axis.com/techsup Depending on
the number of cameras you wish to install, use the method that suits you best.
