The Power indicator is not
constantly lit

Faulty power supply.

Verify that you are using an AXIS PS-D power supply.

The Network indicator
displays red.

Faulty cabling.

1. To verify that the cables are functional, PING the address

of a known unit on your network.

2. If the cabling is OK and your network is reachable, you

should receive the reply similar to this:

...bytes = 32 time = 2 ms,

The Active and Network
indicators are flashing
every 0.5 seconds

Hardware failure.

Contact your Axis dealer.

Your AXIS 2120 works
locally, but not externally.

Firewall protection

Check the Internet firewall with your system manager.

Default routers required

Check if you need to configure the default router settings.

Slow image updating

The Internet site is too
heavily loaded

Configure the AXIS 2120 to upload your video images to an
FTP server or an ISP.

No image using Refresh
and/or slow updating of
images.

Requests for images of
varying size and resolu-
tion place a greater
demand on the available
file space within the AXIS
2120.

Ensure that all the clients accessing the images are using
the same image resolution and compression. For large
numbers of clients, configure the AXIS 2120 to upload your
images to an FTP server or an ISP.

Cannot access the con-
nected modem.

Modem not properly
connected.

Check the modem power supply and modem cable connec-
tions, and ensure that the modem is configured appropri-
ately.

Incorrect initstring.

Send command AT&F1 to return your modem to factory
default, and then try accessing the modem again. If this
does not resolve the problem, it is likely that your modem
uses an initialization string that is different from the stan-
dard ATZ command used by the AXIS 2120. In this case,
refer to the user information supplied with your modem to
find the unique initstring command for your unit.

A series of broad vertical
white lines appear across
the image.

The CCD sensor
becomes overloaded
when the light is too
bright. This can happen
e.g. with sunlight reflexes.

Direct exposure to extreme sunlight or halogen light may
cause serious damage to the CCD sensor. Reposition your
AXIS 2120 in a more shaded location immediately.

Note: damage caused to the AXIS 2120 through over expo-
sure to direct sunlight or halogen light is not covered by the
product warranty.
