connected to. The AXIS 241Q/241S must be installed on the same network segment.
2. Click the button “Set IP address using serial number” and enter the serial number and
IP address for the AXIS 241Q/241S.

working environment restricts additional software components, you can configure your AXIS 241Q/241S to
use a Java applet for updating the images. See the help file Live View Config > Layout > Default Viewer for
Internet Explorer, or use another supported Web browser, see Technical Specifications, on page 57.
7. The installation is now complete. Proceed to Using the video server, on page 16.
