AXIS P8221 - System Options
Network
Basic TCP/IP Settings
AXIS P8221 supports both IP version 4 and IP version 6. Both versions may be enabled simultaneously, and at least one version
must always be enabled. When using IPv4, the IP address can be set automatically via DHCP, or a static IP address can be set
manually. If IPv6 is enabled, the device receives an IP address according to the configuration in the network router. There is
also the option of using AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service. For more information on setting the IP address, please refer to
the Installation Guide supplied with your product.
Network Settings
Click the View button for an overview of the IP configuration of the device.
IPv4 Address Configuration
Check the Enable IPv4 box option to enable IPv4.
Obtain IP address via DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol that lets network administrators
centrally manage and automate the assignment of IP addresses on a network. DHCP is enabled by default. Although a DHCP
server is mostly used to set an IP address dynamically, it is also possible to use it to set a static, known IP address for a
particular MAC address.
Note:
DHCP should only be enabled if using dynamic IP address notification, or if your DHCP server can update a DNS server,
which then allows you to access AXIS P8221 by name (host name). If DHCP is enabled and you cannot access the unit,
run AXIS IP Utility to search the network for connected Axis products or reset the unit to factory default settings and
then perform the installation again.
Use the following IP address - To use a static IP address for AXIS P8221, check the radio button and then make the following
settings:
• IP address – Specify a unique IP address for your AXIS P8221. (To check if the IP address you intend to use is available
or not, click the Test button)
• Subnet mask – Specify the mask for the subnet AXIS P8221 is located on
• Default router – Specify the IP address of the default router (gateway) used for connecting devices attached to differ-
ent networks and network segments.
IPv6 Address Configuration
Check the Enable IPv6 box option to enable IPv6. Other settings for IPv6 are configured in the network router.
Services
Enable ARP/Ping setting of IP address – The IP address can be set using the ARP/Ping method, which associates the unit's
MAC address with an IP address. Check this box to enable the service. Leave disabled to prevent unintentional resetting of the
IP address.
Notes:
• The ARP/Ping service is automatically disabled two minutes after the unit is started, or as soon as an IP address is set.
In order to reset the IP address, the unit must be restarted to activate ARP/Ping for an additional two minutes.
• Pinging the unit is still possible when this service is disabled.
AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service - Use AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS service to assign a host name for easy access to your
device. Click Settings... to register the device with AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS service, or to modify the existing settings
(requires access to the Internet). The domain name currently registered at AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS service for your product
can at any time be removed.
