Customizing The Video Server AXIS 2411 Admin Manual

Custom Web Pages

The AXIS 2411 contains a re-writable flash memory file system that allows some directories and

files to be changed by the root user, using FTP. This strictly non-supported product functionality,

makes it possible for advanced users and application developers to add their own Web pages,

scripts, and other files to the Axis product.

Customizing Procedures

The existing Administration pages are stored in a compressed read-only area of the file system. If

you intend to try changing them you must adhere strictly to the instructions provided here and

ensure that you DO NOT inadvertently change any files other than those featured in this section.

Failure to comply with this notice may render your product unusable.

All files stored in the

/etc/httpd/html directory are available through the product Web server

in the virtual directory

/local/. The URL to resident pages in the /etc/httpd/html directory is

http://IP/local/<filename>.htm.
