Note: If you still have a problem after reading this information, please contact your reseller or check 
the FAQ on the Axis Website at www.axis.com.
Your AXIS 2400+/2401+ 
works locally, but not 
externally.
Firewall protection. Check the Internet firewall with your system administrator.
Default routers required. Check if you need to configure the default router settings.
The Internet site is too 
heavily loaded.
Use a script running on your web server to relay images from the 
AXIS 2400+/2401+ to the Internet. 
Triggering difficulties with 
programming scripts.
Unable to trigger on both 
positive and negative 
transitions of the Control 
Button and/or I/O ports 
(double-edged triggering).
Repetitive trigger conditions that occur in quick succession can be 
missed. This is because the command initiated by the first trigger 
event may not have been fully executed before the second event 
starts. This scenario is demonstrated in the illustration below:
This feature has particular significance when using commands that 
take a relatively long time to process, e.g. mail or ftp, especially if 
they are transmitting a pre/post alarm buffer.
Bad snapshot images. Display incorrectly 
configured on your 
workstation.
In Display Properties, configure your display to show at least 65000 
colors, i.e. at least 16-bit.
Using only 16 or 256 colors on your display will produce dithering 
artifacts in the image. 
Incorrect exposure in images. Incorrect line termination.  If the AXIS 2400+/2401+ is to be connected in parallel with other 
equipment, disable the input termination by turning the 
corresponding DIP switch to the up-position (OFF). Inversely, when 
not using other equipment, set the Termination dip-switch to ON 
(default setting).
