Tip!
General Server Settings
Click the
Video Server
icon to display and/or edit the following settings:
Date and Time
Click the
Date and Time
icon to set the date and time, automatically, or manually.
Automatic setting of the date and time requires you to either synchronize the time with
that on your computer or, alternatively, to provide the IP address of an NTP server. To
automatically adjust the time to reflect changes made by daylight saving, check the box
provided. Click
Save
to register the settings with the Video Server.
Security
To prevent unauthorized use of the Video Server, access is password-protected and
restricted to defined
Users
and
Administrators
only
.
Administrators
have unrestricted
access to the Administration Tools
and can determine the registration of all other
users.
As an
Administrator
, click the
Security
icon to either:
• define or edit the
Administrator
password (the Administrator user name is permanently set to
root
, with the default password set to
pass
)
• configure, add or delete user names and passwords
Important!
By default, the AXIS 2400/2401 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.
Having used the Wizards for initially configuring your application, refer to the on-line Help and use the
Administration Tools for refining the application to meet your specific requirements.
Upon delivery, the AXIS 2400/2401 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.
