Configuring the Video Server
This section is targeted specifically to personnel responsible for the administration of the AXIS
2400. The Administrator(s) is granted with high-level privileges denied to the ordinary user(s).
Before you begin:
You configure the AXIS 2400 from a standard Web browser such as Netscape Navigator or
Internet Explorer.
As a viable alternative to managing and configuring the AXIS 2400 using a Web browser, you can
alternatively edit the system configuration file using a text editor and upload the file to the AXIS
2400 using FTP. For further information please refer to Configuring using FTP, on page 33.
Overview of the Administration Tools
The Web-based Administration tools are displayed in a graphical user interface that allows simple
point-and-click display of the system tools. Several user-friendly Wizards are provided to guide you
through every aspect of the installation; from designing the user interface and configuring the
supported networking protocols, right down to integrating the unit into your specific application
environment - it is incredibly easy!
Important!
Following the instructions provided within this section, use the Web-based Administration tools
for configuring and managing your AXIS 2400.
To access the AXIS 2400 configuration pages, you must first set the Internet address as described in “Assigning an
Internet Address

On-line help is available on every page within the AXIS 2400 Web interface. This information is of particular
relevance when configuring the unit and should be used as a first point of reference for any administration queries.
