Set an IP address
To make it accessible on the network, the AXIS 262+ must be assigned an IP address. The
recommended method for setting IP addresses in Windows is AXIS IP Utility. This
application is free and available on the Axis Network Video Product CD supplied with this
product.
Notes:
AXIS IP Utility - single device/small installation
AXIS IP Utility automatically discovers and displays Axis devices on your network. The
application can also be used to manually set a static IP address.
Note that the computer running AXIS IP Utility must be on the same network segment
(physical subnet) as the AXIS 262+.

See page 7 for instructions on how to set the password.
Set the IP address manually
1. Acquire an unused IP address on the same network segment your computer is connected
to.

Set IP address using serial number and enter the serial number
and IP address for the AXIS 262+. The serial number is located on the product label.
3. Click the Assign button and follow the instructions.
• A network DHCP server is optional.
• The AXIS 262+ has the default IP address 192.168.0.90
• If setting the IP address fails, check that there is no firewall blocking the operation. If you still
experience problems refer to the NAT traversal section in the User’s Manual.

This will reset all parameters, including the IP address, to the Factory Default settings and
format the hard disk drive:
1. Press the Factory Setup button on the rear of the unit for 20 seconds while the unit is
powered up.
2. When the Status indicator on the front panel displays steady green, which can take up to
3 minutes, the AXIS 262+ has been reset to the factory default settings.
3. Re-assign the IP address, using one of the methods described in this document.
It is also possible to reset parameters to the original factory default settings via the Web
interface. For more information, see the online help or the user’s manual.
