AXIS 2411 Admin Manual Configuring the Video Server
13
Notes:
Important!
By default, the AXIS 2411 supports anonymous user access, which means that anybody on
the Internet/intranet has access to the video images and Admin Tools from a browser.
Entering at least one user name and password for an authorized user in the Security page
will disable anonymous access, and thereafter only allow defined users. If the anonymous
user service is satisfactory for your application, do not add any users. The Administrator
password should, however, still be changed.
View Parameter List
The Parameter List provides a comprehensive list of all of the system parameters and their
current settings. Click View Parameter List to display the list.
View Log File
System messages are recorded in a single log file and stored in product memory.
Consequently, the file can be used for examining system events. The log file also serves as
a useful diagnostic tool when attempting to resolve any problem that might occur. See also
Troubleshooting, on page 21.
To display the latest server messages since the last Restart of the system, click the View
Log File button.
View Server Report
This button shows important information about the server status and settings.
View Release Notes
This button opens a window showing the build information for the installed firmware.
Image control can also be achieved directly using CGI parameters in the image URL.
Using CGI parameters embedded in a URL request will temporarily override any parameters
defined in the Video dialog. For detailed CGI information, refer to the Axis Camera API, HTTP
- Interface Specification, available from our website at www.axis.com
Upon delivery, the AXIS 2411 is configured for open access (anonymous users), with one
pre-configured Administrator user name and password, set to root and pass, respectively. The Adminis-
trator password should always be changed
, to prevent unauthorized access to the Admin Tools and/or
product images. Furthermore, all Axis products are supplied with these defaults.
