Note that the AXIS 262 must be installed on the same network segment.
• ARP/Ping - Use these commands to manually set the IP address. Note that the AXIS 262
must be installed on the same network segment. See page 6 for more information.
• DHCP Server - View the admin pages for the DHCP server on your network to discover the
IP address assigned to the AXIS 262. For more information see the DHCP server’s own
documentation, and/or contact your network administrator.
