Custom Web Pages
The AXIS 230 contains a re-writable flash memory file system that allows some directories
and files to be changed by the root user, using FTP. 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.
Customizing Procedures
The existing web pages are stored in a compressed read-only area of the file system. If you
intend to try changing them you must adhere strictly 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 pages in the /etc/httpd/html directory
is
http://IP/local/<filename>.htm.
