AXIS 2120 User’s Manual Custom Web Pages

Appendix F - Custom Web Pages
The AXIS 2120 contains a re-writeable flash memory file system that allows some
directories and files to be changed by the root user, using FTP (File Transfer Protocol). This
strictly non-supported product functionality, makes it possible for advanced users and
application developers to add their own Web pages, scripts, and other files to the Axis
product.
Caution!
Customizing Procedures
Notes: •The existing Administration pages are stored in a compressed read-only area of the file system.
If you intend to try changing these, you must strictly adhere to the instructions provided here
and ensure that you DO NOT inadvertently change any files other than those featured in this
section. Failure to comply with this notice may render your product unusable.
•All files stored in the /etc/httpd/html directory are available through the product Web server in
the virtual directory /local/. The URL to resident pages in the /etc/httpd/html directory is
http://IP/local/<filename>.htm
Essentially a hidden feature within the AXIS 2120, modification of the flash file system is not supported
by Axis Communications. In practice this means that Axis will not answer questions regarding Web page
or script development.
In attempting to make any modification to the product, you may inadvertently create a problem that will
require you to return the AXIS 2120 to its factory default settings. You may even cause permanent dam-
age to the unit that renders it unusable. Consequently, Axis strongly recommends that inexperienced
users DO NOT
undertake any modifications described in this section.
Axis does not provide any support in association with this functionality nor take any responsibility for
problems arising from it, but merely wish to inform potential application developers of the possibilities
afforded by the Linux-based file structure of the AXIS 2120.
