Advanced
Scripting is an advanced function that provides the means for customizing and using scripts.
Caution!
The scripting function is a very powerful 
tool. Improper use may cause unexpected behavior or even loss of 
contact with the unit. If a script does cause problems, reset the unit to its factory default settings (in which 
case, a previously saved backup file will be useful for returning the unit to its latest configuration). 
Axis strongly recommends that you do not use th
is function unless you fully understand its 
consequences. Axis support provides no assistance for customized scripts.
