Configuring Your Camera
Important!
The AXIS 2100 is configured and integrated into your application environment using the available
Wizards, or the Web-based Administration Tools.
This section provides detailed information on how to use the Installation and Application Wizards
for creating your application, and a general overview of the supported Administration Tools used
for refining the product configuration for use in your application environment.

Configuration Using the Wizards
Having decided on the application you wish to develop and having installed your AXIS 2100
accordingly, the unit is now connected directly to a local area network, or to a local PC using the
supplied Null Modem Cable. For speedy development of your application, the AXIS 2100 provides
two easy-to-use Wizards that are recommended for both novice and advanced users alike: the
Installation Wizard and the Application Wizard. Depending on your choice of application, you
can run each of these Wizards either consecutively or independently of one another.
• Before configuring the camera it must have been successfully installed. It is assumed that you have
decided which application you wish to develop and that you have subsequently installed your cam-
era prior to commencing with this section. If not, please refer to Choosing Your Application, on page
10 and the respective sections for your installation: Installing Your Camera on a Network, on page 20;
or Using Your Camera with a Modem, on page 26.
• Prior to accessing the Installation Wizard or Administration Tools over a network
, you must first set the
Internet address, as described in Installing Your Camera on a Network, on page 20.
• Check your Internet Options/Security settings and ensure that scripting is enabled. Javascript must be
enabled in your browser for the AXIS 2100 Web-based interface to work effectively.
• On-line help is available from most pages within the AXIS 2100 Web interface. Containing com-
prehensive details on all product parameters, this information is your first point of reference when
configuring and managing the unit, and is a particularly useful reference when resolving any adminis-
tration queries. The help system is stored internally in the AXIS 2100.
• When accessing the Administrator Tools for the first time during a browser session, you will not be
prompted for your username and password. You will be assumed to be the Administrator and will
be automatically logged on as such, using the username root
and the default password pass. Please
change the the root password as soon as possible, as only then will security be enabled in your prod-
uct. All Axis products are shipped with the same password as default. For further information, refer
to System Security, on page 42.
