Before you start the installation of the AXIS 2191 Audio Module, you must first install your

intend running the audio module in full-duplex mode, check that the sound card on your computer
supports this.

If using an external microphone, connect it to
the socket provided. To use an alternative input
device, (e.g. CD-player or radio) connect it to
Line-In on the terminal block.

Connect a loudspeaker to the 3.5mm socket (amplified speakers
only), or to

tion). Other devices (including headphones) are connected to the
terminal block.

To verify the connection to the AXIS 2191,
start Internet Explorer and enter the IP address
of the network camera in the location/address
field, e.g. 171.1.2.200, as shown here. Configure
the audio module from the camera’s adminis-
tration pages, as described in the following
section.

Check that the power indicators on both the audio module and the
camera are lit. Note that the power LED will blink during power-up.

ing the supplied cable, connect the

camera’s serial port.
