Accessing the Product
Access from the Internet
Once connected, the Axis product is accessible on your local network (LAN). To access the product from the Internet you must
configure your network router to allow incoming data traffic to the product. To do this, enable the NA
T-traversal feature, which
will attempt to a utomatically co nfigure the router to allow access to the product. This is enabled from Setup > System Options >
Network > TCP/IP Adva n c ed.
For more information, please see
NAT traversal (port mapping) for IPv4, on page 36 . See also AXIS Internet Dynam ic DNS Service at
www.axiscam.net For Technical notes on this and other topics

Set the Root Password
To gain access to the Axis product, you must set t he password for the default administrator user root. This is done in the Configure
Root Password dialog, which appears when the product is accessed for the first time.
To prevent network eavesdropping, the root password can be set via an encrypted HTTPS connection, which requires an H TTPS
certificate. HTTPS (Hyp ertext Transfer Protocol over SSL) is a protocol used to encrypt traffic between web browsers and servers. The
HTTPS certificate ensures encrypted exchange of information.
To set the password via a standard HTTP connection, enter it directly in the first dialog.
To set the password via an encrypted HTTPS connection, follow these steps:
1. Click Create self-signed certificate.
2. Provide the requested information and click OK.Thecertificate is created and the password can now be set securely. All
traffic to and from the product is encrypted from this point on.
3. Enter a password and then re-enter t o confirm the s pelling. Click OK. The password has now been configured.
