Installing via a Modem

for transmitting images over a dial-up connection.
Important!
Connecting Your Computer Using the Null Modem Cable
• Although instructions for configuring the AXIS 2420 using a null modem cable are provided below, it is
recommended that (if possible) the unit is initially installed and configured over a network.
• The information and screen examples featured within this section are specific to Windows NT. Although
similar to the Dial-Up implementations in other versions of Windows, small deviations in the dialog
instructions for other operating systems should be expected. Refer to your system information for further
information on creating a Dial-Up modem connection if you are using any other operating system.
• Windows Dial-Up Networking and TCP/IP must be correctly installed prior to commencing with the
modem cable connection. Detailed information on how to check this is provided in Windows Help.

between the COM1 Serial Connector on the
AXIS 2420 and the COM port of your computer.
