Emergency Actions

In certain circumstances it may become necessary to perform a Restart of the AXIS 2411,

or to return it to its Factory Default settings. Both of these actions can be performed by

clicking the appropriate button on this page. Please see Resetting to the Factory Default

Settings, on page 16, for more information.

Network Settings

Click Network to display, edit and refine the settings for:

• TCP/IP - used by the Video Server for transmitting data over the network.

• DNS (Domain Name System) - the Internet service used by the product for translating

domain names into IP addresses.

• SMTP (E-mail) - this is the protocol used for notifying the administrator via e-mail when e.g.

the ip address of the video server has changed in a DHCP network.

• Miscellaneous - set the network media and to restrict the bandwidth used by the product.

Configure the Network Settings with reference to the on-line help and the table below:

TCP/IP Parameters Description

DHCP Enable DHCP to allow centralized assignation of IP addresses. Requires a DHCP server on the network.

BOOTP Enable the BOOTP protocol for setting the IP address automatically. For further information on using

BOOTP, see Other IP Setup Methods, on page 18. If you intend to use the AXIS IP Installer, BOOTP must

enabled.

Internet address Specifies the unique 32-bit IP address of your unit.

Default Router Specifies the network router your video server will use.

Subnet Mask If unsure what value to use, contact your system administrator. The most common value is 255.255.255.0

Host Name If you are using a DNS server on your network (see below), this is usually the same as the assigned DNS

Name.

DNS Parameters Description

Domain Name Enter the name of the domain your AXIS 2411 belongs to.

Primary DNS Defines the IP address of the primary DNS server. This is used for identifying a computer by name instead

of IP address.

Secondary DNS The IP address of the secondary DNS server. This will be used if the primary DNS server is unavailable.

SMTP Parameters Description

Primary Mail Server Defines the server that provides your mail facilities.

Secondary Mail Server Defines a secondary server that can provide mail facilities in the event of the primary server being

unavailable.

Return Address The reply address for e-mails sent by the AXIS 2411; that is, the name that will appear in the ‘From’ field

of the dispatched e-mail.

Miscellaneous Description

Select Media This does not normally need to be changed, but if you have specific needs - due to the use of network

switches or similar equipment, select the type of network media here.

Max Bandwidth With the default set to unlimited, this parameter defines a restriction on the network bandwidth used by

the video server; particularly useful for a connection to a busy network.

HTTP Port Number This does not normally need to be changed, but may be, if you have particular requirements.
