Power Supply Connector

A single Jack socket (PS-D) for

connection of the AXIS

2400+/2401+ power supply. The

terminal block connector provides

an auxiliary connection point for

AC or DC power to the unit.

Network Connector

The AXIS 2400+/2401+ is designed for 10 Mbps Ethernet

and 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet networks and connects to the

network via a standard RJ45 connector. Supporting NWAY,

the AXIS 2400+/2401+ detects the speed of the local net-

work segment and varies the speed of data communication

accordingly (between 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps).

I/O Terminal Block

The I/O Terminal Block connector is located between the two serial ports on the

rear panel and provides the physical interface to one relay switch output, four

digital photo-coupled inputs, and an RS-485 interface. Use this connector for

transmitting data over multi-drop communication lines, RS-485 Pan Tilt devices,

and external triggering - typically associated with CCTV equipment. The connector

can be utilized as an alternative connection point for DC supply to the unit.

RS-232 Serial Connectors

Two 9-pin D-sub connectors providing RS-232 serial

connection. Typically used for Pan/Tilt device interface.

COM1 is multiplexed with the RS-485 port via the Ter-

minal Block Connector. COM2 can also be used for con-

necting a modem or the AXIS 2191 Audio Module.

Verifying and Completing the Installation From Your Browser

Important!

• The AXIS 2400+/01+ is supplied with one pre-configured Administrator user name and password, set

to root and pass, respectively. The Administrator password must be changed to prevent unauthorized

access to the Admin Tools and/or product images, as defined in the Security Settings.

• To enable live images in Microsoft Internet Explorer, set your browser to allow ActiveX controls and

perform a once-only installation of Axis' ActiveX component onto your workstation (as prompted). If

your working environment restricts additional software components, you can configure your AXIS

2400+/01+to use a Java applet for updating the images (Web page - Image Settings).

❼Exit ping. The installation is now complete, and you are ready to

access the AXIS 2400+/2401+ from your browser, as described in

the next section.

AXIS 2400+/2401+ Admin Manual Installing on a Network 11

Alternative IP Setup Methods

As an alternative to the ARP command, you can set the IP address for your AXIS

2400+/2401+ using one of the following methods depending on your operating system:

Before you begin:

• Make sure the AXIS 2400+/2401+ is powered up and connected to the network.

• Acquire an unused IP address from your Network Administrator, do NOT attempt to use the IP

address in the examples in this manual.

• No special privileges required for Windows 95/98/ME or XP (Home)

Administrator privileges required for Windows NT/2000 and XP (Professional)

Root privileges required for UNIX systems

• The AXIS 2400+/2401+ is pre-configured with a unique Ethernet/MAC Address based on the serial

number printed on the underside label of the unit.

UNIX

BOOTP - this method operates over the entire network. A request to an active daemon

initiates a search of the boot table to find an entry matching the unit’s Ethernet address.

The daemon downloads the IP address to the device if a match is found (requires a BOOTP

daemon on your system).

Macintosh

Before you begin:

• The AXIS 2400+/2401+ has a default IP address of 192.168.0.90

• Changing the IP address for a Macintosh does not require a reboot

• There are limitations in the ActiveX Support in Internet Explorer running on the Macintosh. The rec-

ommended solution for viewing images from the AXIS 2400+/2401+ on a Macintosh work station is

to use Netscape Navigator

Setting the IP address from a Macintosh workstation:

Configuring the Video Server

After deciding on the application you wish to develop and having installed your AXIS

2400+/2401+, the unit is now connected directly to a local area network.

This section describes how to configure the AXIS 2400+/2401+ and is intended specifically

for product Administrators – who normally have high-level privileges denied to ordinary

users.

The AXIS 2400+/2401+ is configured from a standard browser (Netscape Navigator 4.x or

Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.x/5.x), by using the Administration Tools.

Important!

The Administration Tools

The Web-based Administration tools are displayed in an intuitive graphical user interface

that allows simple point-and-click system configuration. How to access and use the tools is

explained in the following pages.

Tip! On-line help is available on every page of the AXIS 2400+/2401+Web interface.

This information is of particular relevance when configuring the unit and should be used as a

first point of reference for resolving any administration queries. The help system is stored

internally in the unit.

Accessing the Tools

Follow the instructions below to access the Administration Tools from a browser:

1. Start the browser and enter the name or IP address of the AXIS 2400+/2401+ in the

location/address field.

Example!

2. The Application page is now displayed. Click the Admin button to display the

Administration Overview page and the Administration Tools.

To access the AXIS 2400+/2401+ configuration pages, you must first set the IP address, as described in

Installing on a Network, on page 9.

3. The various components of the video server are shown as icons on the page. Simply

click the desired component and configure it directly from here.

Important!

• If this is the first time you have accessed the AXIS 2400+/2401+, the Welcome page will be now be

displayed. Click the button for the Installation Wizard and configure your application.

• To enable the updating of images in Microsoft Internet Explorer, set your browser to allow ActiveX

controls and perform a once-only installation of Axis' ActiveX component onto your workstation. If

your workstation restricts the downloading of additional software components, you can alternatively

configure your AXIS 2400+/2401+ to use a Java applet for updating the images.

•Administrators can choose not to display the Administration and other navigational buttons from the

user interface. Selecting this feature ultimately means that the Administration tools can then only be

accessed by entering the full Admin address into the browser’s URL field; for example:

http://172.21.1.200/admin/.

Using the Application Wizard, configure the AXIS 2400+/2401+ to upload images to an

FTP server on your network.

Before you begin:

In the Application Wizard, enter the following information:

1. Select the video cameras (1-4) providing the images to be uploaded (AXIS 2400+ only)

2. Define when the images are to be uploaded - continuously or when an event occurs.

3. Define the preferred protocol (FTP).

4. Enter the Host Name or IP address of the

FTP server.

5. Enter the user name and password of your

FTP server.

6. Detailed FTP setting for the advanced

Destinations Configure:

• network protocol for uploading images (FTP or SMTP)

• SMTP settings and the e-mail recipient (if used)

• FTP path name and security settings (if used)

If you do not have an FTP server on your network, you can install one on your own computer. Both Commercial FTP servers and

freeware are available.

Check your FTP server connection to make sure that you have

access to the files and that the Host Name /IP address is valid.

If the connection is OK, proceed to the Application Wizard to

configure the video server to upload images to your FTP server.

Note: To avoid unnecessary DNS traffic and to speed up the

connection, it may be better to use the IP address instead of the

Host Name,

If you are using the Host Name, make sure that you specify your

DNS server details in Admin | Network Settings | DNS

AXIS 2400+/2401+ Admin Manual Configuring the Video Server 19

Date and Time

Click the Date and Time icon to set the date and time, automatically, or manually.

Automatic setting of the date and time requires you to either synchronize the time with

that on your computer or, alternatively, to provide the IP address of an NTP server. To

automatically adjust the time to reflect changes made by daylight saving, check the box

provided. Click Save to register the settings with the Video Server.

Security

To prevent unauthorized use of the Video Server, access is password-protected and

restricted to defined Users and Administrators only. Administrators have unrestricted

access to the Administration Tools and can determine the registration of all other users.

As an Administrator, click the Security icon to either:

• define or edit the Administrator password (the Administrator user name is permanently set to

root, with the default password set to pass)

• configure, add or delete user names and passwords

Important!

By default, the AXIS 2400+/2401+ supports anonymous user access, which means that

anybody on the Internet/intranet has access to the video images and Admin Tools from a

browser. Entering at least one user name and password for an authorized user in the

Security page will disable anonymous access, and thereafter only allow defined users. If

the anonymous user service is satisfactory for your application, do not add any users. The

Administrator password should, however, still be changed.

Upon delivery, the AXIS 2400+/2401+ is configured for open access (anonymous users), with one

pre-configured Administrator user name and password, set to root and pass, respectively. The Adminis-

trator password should always be changed, to prevent unauthorized access to the Admin Tools and/or

product images. Furthermore, all Axis products are supplied with these defaults.
