AXIS 2400+/2401+ Admin Manual Product Description
 7 
AXIS 2401+ Front Panel
DIP Switch
A single line termination for the 
supported video output. Units are 
shipped with the line termination 
enabled; that is, with the DIP 
switch set in the down-position.
If the AXIS 2401+ is to be con-
nected in parallel with other 
equipment, disable the input ter-
mination by turning the corre-
sponding DIP switch to the 
up-position (OFF). Failure to do so 
can cause the picture quality to 
be impaired.
Serial Number
Located on the underside label of the AXIS 
2401+, the serial number is identical to the 
unit’s MAC/Ethernet address.
Status Indicator
The multi-colored status indicator 
defines the operational status of the 
server, as described below:
• green - the indicator flashes briefly 
and momentarily displays orange 
during the start-up and self-test 
routines; the indicator then displays 
green to indicate a healthy unit sta-
tus. 
• red - the indicator will display red 
only if a problem with the AXIS 
2401+ has occurred
• orange - flashes orange when reset-
ting the factory default settings.
Network Indicator
After completion of the startup 
and self test routines, the 
multi-colored Network Indica-
tor flashes independently, as 
follows:
• yellow - indicating network 
activity on a 10Mbps 
Ethernet network
• green - indicating network 
activity on a 100Mbps Fast 
Ethernet network
• red - indicating no physical 
connection to the network. 
Power Indicator
The Power indicator is normally lit while 
power is applied. If it is not lit, or it 
flashes, there is a problem with the AXIS 
2401+ external power source.
Control Button
This button is recessed 
within the product casing. 
Using a suitably pointed 
object, press this button to 
restore the factory default 
settings. For further infor-
mation, refer to  Network 
Settings, on page 17.

ing a single video source. The

Video Output
A single video 
loopthrough (VIDEO 
OUT) connected in 
parallel with VIDEO IN 
and terminated with a
