Physical Description
Read the following information to familiarize yourself with the AXIS 2400, making particular note
of where the connectors and indicators are located. This information provides a useful reference
during the installation of the product into your networking environment.
Video Inputs - The four video inputs (VIDEO 1-VIDEO 4) are terminated with four
coax/BNC video-in connectors. Each input is equipped with signal autosensing functionality to
provide full connectivity to cameras using different video formats, e.g. NTSC, PAL, black/white
50Hz or black/white 60Hz. Physical connections made using RG59, 75 ohm coax video cable have
a recommended maximum length of 800 feet (250 meters).
DIP Switches - The DIP switches provide the line termination for each video input. The unit is
shipped with the line termination enabled for each video input; that is, all DIP switches set in the
down-position.
If the AXIS 2400 is to be connected in parallel with other equipment, disable the input termination
by turning the corresponding DIP switch to the up-position. Failure to do this can cause the
picture quality to be impaired.
I/O Terminal Block Connector - The I/O terminal connector block is located between the
two serial ports and provides the physical interface to one relay switch output, four digital
photo-coupled inputs and an RS-485 interface. For details, refer to Appendix F - The IO Terminal
Block.
