AXIS M31 Series - System Options
Network
Basic TCP/IP Settings
AXIS M31 Series Network Cameras support 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 for the camera can be set automatically via
DHCP, or a static IP address can be set manually. If IPv6 is enabled, the network cameras receive an IP address according to
the configuration in the network router. There are also options for setting up notification of changes in the IP address, and for
using the AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service. For more information on setting the IP address, please see the online help
.
Network Settings - Click the View button for an overview of the IP configuration of the network camera.
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 your DHCP server can update a DNS server, which then allows you to access the AXIS
M31 Series Network Camera 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 network camera to factory default settings and
then perform the installation again.
Use the following IP address - To use a static IP address for the AXIS M31 Series Network Camera, check the radio button
and then make the following settings:
• IP address - Specify a unique IP address for your AXIS M31 Series Network Camera. (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 the AXIS M31 Series Network Camera 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 camera must be restarted to activate ARP/Ping for an additional two minutes.
• Pinging the unit is still possible when this service is disabled.
Axis Video Hosting System (AVHS)
AVHS used in conjunction with an AVHS service, provides easy and secure Internet access to live and recorded video accessible
from any location. For more information and help to find a local AVHS Service Provider go to www.axis.com
Enable AVHS - Enabled by default, if AVHS is not to be used this option can be disabled.
One-click enabled - Press the camera’s control button (see Overview, on page 5) to connect to an AVHS service over the
Internet. Once registered, Always is enabled and the camera stays connected to the AVHS service. If the camera isn’t
registered within 24 hours after the button is pressed, the camera will disconnect from the AVHS service.
