Quick Installation Guide

This guide covers the installation and basic setup procedures for your 
AXIS 240. Should you require more detailed instructions, please 
refer to the AXIS 240 User’s Manual that is available via the Axis 
WWW Home Page at 

http://www.axis.com/salessupport/manuals.html#camera

Installing the 

AXIS 240

Your AXIS 240 can service up to 4 coax/BNC cameras and one 
S-video camera.

Follow these instructions to install your AXIS 240:

1. Record the serial number of your AXIS 240. Please note that the 

serial number is identical to the Ethernet address of the unit.

2. Connect the camera(s) to the camera port(s) of the AXIS 240 

using the appropriate connectors. Optionally, you can connect a 
Pan/Tilt device to the RS232 serial output for automated 
adjustment of the camera orientation.

3. Connect your AXIS 240 to the network using an Ethernet 

10baseT connector.

4. Connect the external power supply (Axis type PS-D), to the 

AXIS 240 and check that the Power indicator is lit.

5. Acquire an unused Internet address for your AXIS 240.

6. Assign the Internet address to your AXIS 240 using the method 

applicable to your network environment:

Windows 95, Windows NT

Start a DOS window and type the following commands:

Example:

arp -s 192.168.3.191 00-40-8c-10-00-86
ping 192.168.3.191

arp -s <Internet address> <Ethernet address>
ping <Internet address>

In Windows 95, you cannot use ARP if you have an empty 
ARP table. Type 

arp -a

 to display the ARP table. If it is 

empty, you must ping an existing unit on your network before 
setting the Internet Address of your AXIS 240.
