Configuring the Video Server
After deciding on the application you wish to develop and having installed your AXIS
2400/2401, the unit is now either connected directly to a local area network, or connected
to a local PC using the supplied Null Modem Cable.
This section describes how to configure the AXIS 2400/2401 and is intended specifically
for product Administrators – who normally have high-level privileges denied to ordinary
users.
The AXIS 2400/2401 is configured from a standard browser (Netscape Navigator 4.x or
Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.x/5.x), by using the Administration Tools.
Important!
The Administration Tools
The Web-based Administration tools are displayed in an intuitive graphical user interface
that allows simple point-and-click system configuration. How to access and use the tools is
explained in the following pages.
Tip! On-line help is available on every page of the AXIS 2400/2401Web interface.
This information is of particular relevance when configuring the unit and should be used as a
first point of reference for resolving any administration queries. The help system is stored
internally in the unit.

1. Start the browser and enter the name or IP address of the AXIS 2400/2401 in the
