Network Settings

The AXIS 2400 is built upon open standards and supports the following networking protocols:

• Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) - used by the Video Server for

transmitting data over the network.

• Domain Naming Service (DNS) - The Internet service used by the product for translating

domain names into Internet Addresses

• Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) - the Video Server can be pre-programmed to send

images as e-mail attachments to pre-defined addressees. This is the protocol for sending E-mail

messages between e-mail servers on the network.

• HTTP - the fundamental protocol used by the WWW, used for configuring and managing the

unit and displaying the video images over the network.

Click the Network icon within the graphic user interface, or click the Network Settings button to

and configure the above protocols Automatically - using the Wizard, or Manually - by clicking

Detailed View.

Using the Wizard

The Wizard guides you through the setup procedures for each of the above protocols - one at a

time. After completing one protocol, you optionally proceed to configure another protocol.

Having determined the settings for each of the supported protocols, you should then use the

Detailed View to enable or disable the protocols.
