Configuring using FTP
As an alternative to configuring the AXIS 2400 using a Web browser, the configuration parameters
of your unit can also be modified using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP).
FTP is supported by most operating environments and is useful method for quickly downloading
standard pre-configurations to one or several remote video servers.
Modifying the Configuration File
Follow these instructions to modify the configuration file using FTP:
1. In a DOS or UNIX window, type
ftp videoserv, where videoserv is the name or IP
address of your AXIS 2400.
2. Login using the user root and the root password. Default password is
pass. It is highly
recommended that your change the root password, since all Axis products are shipped with this
password as default.
3. Use
get config.ini to access the configuration file.
4. Edit the config file using any text editor. In Windows 95/98 and Windows NT environments,
you can for example use Notepad.
5. Once the editing is complete, save the file as config.ini. Type
put config.ini to save the
configuration file permanently.
6. To exit FTP, type the command
quit, bye, or exit.
