Status Indicator
Used in conjunction with the Focus Assistant, this multi-colored indicator can be configured
for use as a local focusing aid (for further details please refer to Adjusting the Camera Focus, on
page 32). Under normal conditions however, this indicator shows the operational status of
the camera, as described below:
• green - the indicator flashes briefly and momentarily displays orange during the
start-up and self-test routines. The indicator then displays green to indicate a healthy
unit status.
• red - the indicator will display red only if a problem with the AXIS 2100 has occurred.
Refer to Appendix A - Troubleshooting.
Note: The Status indicator also displays orange when re-setting to the factory default settings,
as described in Reinstating the Factory Default Settings, on page 40.
