Accessing the Product
Access from the Internet
Once connected, the Axis product is accessible on your local network (LAN). To access the product from the Internet you must
configure your network router to allo w incoming data traffic to the product. To do this, enable the NAT-traversal feature, which
will attempt to automatically configure the router to allow access to the product. This is enabled from Setup > System Options >
Network > TCP/IP Ad vanced.
For m o re information, please see
NAT traversal (port mapping) for IPv4, on page 43

Set the Root Password
To gain access to the Axis product, you must set t he pa ssword for the default administrator user root. This is done in the Configure
Root Password dialog , which appears w hen the product is accessed for the first time.
To prevent network eavesdropping, the root password can be set via an encrypted HTTPS connection, which requires an HTTPS
certificate. HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over SSL) is a protocol used to encrypt traffic between web browsers and servers. The
HTTPS certificate ensures encrypted exchange of information.
To set the password via a standard HTTP connection, enter it directly in the first dialog.
To set the password via an encrypted HTTPS connection, follow these steps:
1. Click Create self-signed certificate.
2. Provide the requested information and click OK.Thecertificate is created and the password can now be set securely. A ll
traffic to and from the product is encrypted from this point on.
3. Enter a passw o rd and the n re-enter to confirm the spelling. Click OK. The password has now been con figured.
Note
• The default administrator user name root is permanent and cannot be deleted.
