Configure the Network Settings with reference to the on-line help and the table below:
TCP/IP Parameters DHCP BOOTP Description Enable DHCP to allow centralized assignation of IP addresses. Requires a DHCP server on the network. Enable the BOOTP protocol for setting the IP address automatically. For further information on using BOOTP, see Other IP Setup Methods, on page 38. If you intend to use the AXIS IP Installer, BOOTP must be enabled. Specifies the unique 32-bit IP address of your unit. Specifies the network router your video server will use. If unsure what value to use, contact your system administrator. If you are using a DNS server on your network (see below), this is usually the same as the assigned DNS Name. Description Enter the name of the domain your AXIS 2400/2401 belongs to. Defines the IP address of the primary DNS server. This is used for identifying a computer by name instead of IP address. The IP address of the secondary DNS server. This will be used if the primary DNS server is unavailable. Description Defines the server that provides your mail facilities. Defines a secondary server that can provide mail facilities in the event of the primary server being unavailable. The reply address for e-mails sent by the AXIS 2400/2401; that is, the name that will appear in the From field of the dispatched e-mail. Description 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. 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. This does not normally need to be changed, but may be, if you have particular requirements.

TXT Field

Video Settings
Each Video icon in the graphic display represents a supported video input to the AXIS 2400/2401. A video source that is not enabled will be indicated by the Disabled icon; whereas a cross (x) visible to the left of the icon means that the input is enabled, but the associated video signal is not present on the input. Click a video icon to configure that camera/source.
Enabling and Disabling - Checking the Video enabled box enables or disables the respective
video port. Disabling the source will disable the Video icon in the application page.
Pan Tilt Serial Port - From the drop-down list, choose the serial port that will control the respective video source. The devices displayed in the drop-down list correspond to the defined Purpose of the port and selected device for each port. Please see the Axis Web site at www.axis.com for a list of currently supported devices. Selecting a COM-port that has been configured for pan tilt will reveal a button that opens the dialog for making Driver Specific Settings.
The port must be defined as a Pan Tilt port before you can select it for controlling the video source.
Click the Image Settings button to set the image features for the video source(s). As the AXIS 2400 supports up to four video inputs, you can choose to implement your preferred settings generically - that is, for all connected video sources, or specifically limiting your settings to the selected video source. From the Apply settings to drop-down list, select whether your settings are to be applied specifically or generically; that is, to Video X (1,2,3 or 4) or to All Videos. With reference to the table below, configure the image settings to your requirements:
Header Date & time Text Image Color Resolution Compression Description Check to enable time display in the selected video source(s). Enable or disable the display of a text string in the selected video image. Type the text string that you want to display in the adjacent field. Display Color or Black and White video images. Set the required resolution for your images. Determines the compression factor (0-100) for the selected video source. Lower compression optimizes picture quality, but generates larger image file sizes, requiring greater network bandwidth and storage space. Enter values in these fields to change the horizontal and vertical synchronization for the image(s). This can be used to eliminate any black border surrounding the image.
Offset Adjustments XOffset, YOffset

Notes:

Image control can also be achieved directly using CGI parameters in the image URL. Using CGI parameters embedded in a URL request will temporarily override any parameters defined in the Image Settings dialog. For detailed CGI information, refer to the Axis Camera API, HTTP - Interface Specification, available from our website at www.axis.com

Reinstating the factory default settings will cause all parameters (including the IP address) to be reset. Refer to Installing on a Network, on page 9, or Other IP Setup Methods, on page 38, for information on how to set the IP address.

Using the Video Server

This section is intended specifically for system Users; that is, personnel responsible for using the AXIS 2400/2401 as part of an integrated s urveillance system. Important!
Your system Administrator has installed the AXIS 2400/2401 on your computer network, connected one or more surveillance video cameras to the unit, and tailored the user functions and general look and feel of the system to meet your specific surveillance needs. Consequently, many of the functions and examples provided within the section may differ from those displayed in your system. Any deficiencies or shortcomings in your application should be referred to the system administrator, who has high-level privileges that are normally denied to ordinary users. On-line help may not be available from the user interface, as access to this information may be denied by your system administrator.
Accessing your Surveillance Images
The AXIS 2400/2401 can be used with most operating systems; Windows, Linux, UNIX, Mac, and several others. You can access the AXIS 2400/2401 from Netscape Navigator 4.x or Internet Explorer 4.x or 5.x (see note below). Follow the instructions below to access your surveillance images: 1. Start your browser. 2. Enter the name or IP address of the AXIS 2400/2401 into the Location/Address field (URL) of your browser: Example!
A video image, similar to one of the examples featured on page 29, is now displayed in your browser. Note:
To enable the updating of images in Microsoft Internet Explorer, you must set your browser to allow ActiveX controls and perform a once-only installation of Axis' ActiveX component onto your workstation. If your computer prohibits the downloading of additional software components, you can alternatively configure your AXIS 2400/2401 to use a Java applet for updating the images. For more information on this, please refer to the on-line Help.

Typical Image Styles

Because the look and feel of the AXIS 2400/2401 user interface is set up by the Administrator, the image formats and page styles can vary considerably. Typical layout styles are featured below - but there are many others that can be used.

Typical quad image style.
Typical single image style - with a configured pan tilt zoom device. Note that the functions available depend on your pan tilt zoom device.
Disconnected Video Sources
All Disabled or Disconnected video cameras are displayed with an appropriate text message in single-display viewing areas; that is, when a source other than VIDEO ALL is selected. A blank display (without text) may indicate a break in the signal transmission and any such incident should be immediately referred to your system administrator.
Positional Control of the Video Sources
Video cameras supporting Pan Tilt and Zoom (PTZ) are connected and controlled directly from the units serial ports. Depending on the type of PTZ device used, the AXIS 2400/2401 can control up to four external (stand-alone) PTZ devices for positioning cameras on your system. Clicking a specific Video button other than Video All, automatically displays pan-tilt-configured video sources in a single-image format that features Pan, Tilt and Zoom bars, as shown in the illustration below:
Focus Allows smooth or stepped camera focus between near and far focus. Zoom Allows smooth or stepped camera zoom between telescopic and wide viewing.
Select Preset Position To enable quick and accurate camera positioning, the Administrator can define within server memory, up to 20 preset camera positions. Preset positions are created and saved as named entities by your Administrator and can be selected at any time from the drop-down dialog. Choosing a preset position from the drop-down dialog immediately causes the selected camera to assume the predefined orientation.
Tilt Allows smooth or stepped vertical panning of the camera.
Home (H) Returns the camera to the Home position.
Click-in-image For navigational control of pan tilt devices.
Pan Allows smooth or stepped horizontal panning of the camera.
Clicking anywhere on the toolbars gradient allows for a smooth PTZ adjustment; whereas clicking on the left or right arrows causes a stepped incremental change. The AXIS 2400/2401 can control a range of relative and absolute PTZ devices via the Web interface, or third-party TCP application. The positioning tools available from the main page depend on the PTZ device chosen by the Administrator. Pan Tilt control can be disabled by the Administrator and may be unavailable in the user interface.
The AXIS 2191 Audio Module
The AXIS 2191 Audio Module is an add-on device that provides audio capability to Axis video servers. The module connects quickly and easily to the servers serial port and is configured and controlled via the servers user interface. The AXIS 2191 is supplied separately.
An Axis Video Server () with an AXIS 2191Audio Module connected provides live audio and video to browser clients ( and the network.

Installing the Audio Module
Before installing the AXIS 2191 Audio Module, first install your video server. Refer to the installation section of this manual. If you 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.
Set the selector switch to Ext to use an external microphone or device. Otherwise, set to Int to use the internal microphone. Connect a loudspeaker to the 3.5mm socket (amplified speakers Using the supplied cable, connect
the audio modules serial port to the video servers serial port. only), or to Out on the terminal block (speakers with no amplification). Other devices (including headphones) are connected to the terminal block.

NB. Exactly which controls will be visible below the image depends on the audio mode you are using. For example, the Push-to-Talk button will not be visible in Full-Duplex mode. Similarly, when using Simplex - Listen mode, only the Speaker controls will be shown. The audio mode is set in the servers admin tools.
Push-To-Talk Used in Half-Duplex or Simplex - Talk mode. The buttons own mode is set in the servers admin pages.
Available Bandwidth Select the bandwidth available for your connection. Level Adjust IN/OUT Drag sliders to adjust level. Mute Checkboxes Check to mute speaker or microphone.
Show/Hide Settings Shows or hides the slider controls and level indicators.
Using the Different Audio Modes

Full-Duplex

Full-Duplex mode means that you can transmit and receive audio (talk and listen) at the same time, without having to use any of the controls. This is just like having a telephone conversation. The only controls you may wish to use are the mute checkboxes to turn off the sound, and the level sliders, to adjust the input/output levels. This mode requires a full-duplex sound card on your computer. If your available bandwidth is 0.2Mbit/s or less, it is recommended that you use Half-Duplex mode instead.

Half-Duplex

Half-Duplex mode also sends and receives audio in both directions, but only in one direction at a time. This means you must actively transmit with the help of the Push-to-Talk button. To speak, press the button (check that the microphone is not muted). When finished speaking, release the button. You will now be receiving audio from the other end of the connection. Note that the Push-to-Talk button can be configured for use in two different ways - Toggle or Instant. This is set in the servers admin tools. Half-Duplex mode is best if you only have limited bandwidth available.

Simplex - Talk

Simplex - Talk mode means that only the web-client end of the connection can transmit audio (that is, to the AXIS 2191). This can be used to e.g. provide spoken instructions to a person seen in the image from the video server. This mode also requires the Push-to-Talk button.

Simplex - Listen

Simplex - Listen mode can only receive audio from the AXIS 2191 to the web-client. This can be used in remote monitoring, web attractions etc., to provide live audio, as well as video, of a monitored situation.
Troubleshooting the Audio Module
Symptoms No audio controls below image. Possible causes Remedial actions The AXIS 2191 is not selected In the servers administration tools, click on the icon for COM2 and for use on COM2. set the purpose to AXIS 2191 Audio Module. Wrong video server firmware. If the AXIS 2191 does not appear as a purpose for COM2 in the Administration Tools, the server does not have the correct firmware and must be upgraded.

Other IP Setup Methods
Appendix A - Other IP Setup Methods
As an alternative to the ARP command (described earlier in the Installation section of this manual), you can set the IP address for your AXIS 2400/2401 using any of the following methods - as appropriate for your operating system:
Method AXIS IP Installer Operating Systems Windows Refer to. Using the AXIS IP Installer, on page 39.
BOOTP Requiring a BOOTP daemon on your system, this method operates over the entire network. A request to an active daemon initiates a search of the boot table to find an entry matching the units Ethernet address. The daemon downloads the IP address to the device if a match is found.
Make sure the AXIS 2400/2401 is powered up and connected to the network. IP Address: Acquire an unused IP address from your Network Administrator, and do NOT use the default IP address featured in the following examples when installing your AXIS 2400/2401. Server Privileges: Although no special privileges are required for Windows 95/98/ME or XP (Home), you will need Administrator privileges for Windows NT/2000 and XP (Professional). UNIX systems require Root privileges.
Ethernet/Mac Address: The AXIS 2400/2401 is pre-configured with a unique Ethernet/Mac Address based upon the serial number printed on the underside label of the unit; where the serial number typically follows the format 00-40-8c-xx-yy-zz. You need this address to complete the installation.
Notes for Macintosh Users
When using the AXIS 2400/01 on a Macintosh, please observe the following points: The AXIS 2400/2401 has a default IP address of 192.36.253.80. Assign a temporary IP address to a Mac workstation in the same subnet (e.g. 192.36.253.81) and then connect to the server. Run the Installation wizard and set the desired IP address for the server. Reset the correct IP address for the Macintosh workstation. Changing the IP address for a Macintosh does not require a reboot. Currently there are limitations in the ActiveX Support in Internet Explorer running on the Macintosh. This results in problems when viewing live moving images. The recommended solution for viewing images from the AXIS 2400/2401 on the Macintosh is to use Netscape Navigator.

PINGing Your IP Address

By sending a packet to the specified address and waiting for a reply, the PING utility can determine whether a specific IP address is accessible. It also provides a particularly useful method for confirming addressing conflicts with your AXIS 2400/2401 on the network. Having disconnected your AXIS 2400/2401, follow the instructions below in association with Symptoms, Possible Causes and Remedial Actions, on page 42, and run the PING utility to troubleshoot TCP/IP problems on your network: 1. Start a Command window and type ping x.x.x.x, where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the AXIS 2400/2401. 2. If you receive the reply destination host unreachable, then the AXIS 2400/2401 is not accessible on your subnet. You must obtain a new IP address and reinstall the unit. 3. If this does not solve the problem, disconnect the AXIS 2400/2401 from the network and run PING again. See the table below for an interpretation of the results.
PING Reply Reply from <IP address>: bytes = 32; time = 10 ms.. Request timed out Interpretation and recommendation The IP address is already used and cannot be used again. You must obtain a new IP address. This IP address is not used and is available for use with your AXIS 2400/2401. If you already installed the unit using this IP address, the installation may have failed. Reinstall the unit. Also check all cabling.

5 levels of compression are available. The file size of a JPEG compressed image depends on the actual content of the image. Images containing a lot of detail will generate larger files. Image quality is controlled through the level of compression. High compression yields smaller files at the expense of image quality, while low compression results in larger files, but maintains image quality. The table above shows average file sizes, derived from real life tests Resolution QCIF: 176 x 112 (NTSC), 176 x 144 (PAL) CIF: 352 x 240 (NTSC), 352 x 288 (PAL) 4CIF: 704 x 480 (NTSC), 704 x 576 (PAL) Video features Date and time stamp and text overlay.
