System Log Message Settings

The AXIS 2460 can send system log messages (e.g. errors) to notify the recipient that a

system event has occurred. After selecting the required level, each time there is an

occurence of this type, a message will be generated. There are 3 levels to choose from:

• Critical - This level will show serious errors that require immediate attention and which

prevent the unit from functioning properly.

• Critical and Warnings - As above, but also shows non-critical errors, e.g. when one of

several disks stops functioning.

• Critical, Warnings and Info - as above, but also includes information about e.g. completed

formatting, notification of restarts, etc.

E-mail Address -

Specify the recipient for the e-mail messages sent when the specified

system events occur.

Mail Reply Settings

The e-mail address specified here will be used as the reply address included in any e-mail

sent by the AXIS 2460 Network DVR.

COM-Ports

The AXIS 2460 Network DVR is supplied with two RS-232 serial ports and one RS-485
serial port. Devices connected to a COM-port on the AXIS 2460 can be accessed via TCP/IP

or HTTP. Settings are managed and configured directly from the user interface, simply by

clicking the desired port, as described below.

For detailed listings of all of the available settings for each mode, as well as more

information about the different interface modes and pinout info, please see Unit
Connectors,
on page 64
. The on-line help also provides information on this topic.

The RS-232 ports are connected via the two 9-pin D-sub connectors on the rear of the unit.
One of these ports, COM-1, is multiplexed with the RS-485 interface on the I/O-B terminal

block connector. The RS-485 port supports the connection of an external device.

The RS-232 port COM-2 can also be used for connecting external devices, but also for

connecting a modem.

Both COM-Ports support Generic HTTP and Generic TCP/IP and a Pan/Tilt/Zoom device

can be used on either.
