Configuring Your Serial Server
The AXIS 2490 is configured and integrated into your application environment using the
Web-based Installation Wizard or the Administration Tools. It is assumed that you have
connected your Serial Server prior to commencing with this section. If not, please refer to
Connecting to a Network, on page 12.
Important!
Complete the Basic Installation Using the Installation Wizard
Having connected your AXIS 2490 directly to a local area network, you should now use
the Installation Wizard to complete the most basic setup. This wizard will help you make
settings for the following:
• Administrators, Users and Passwords.
• The host name, IP address, subnet mask and other basic network settings.
Important!
On-line help is available from most pages within the AXIS 2490 Web interface. Containing compre-
hensive details on all product parameters; this information is your first point of reference when config-
uring and managing the unit, and is a particularly useful reference when resolving any administration
queries. The help system is stored internally in the AXIS 2490.
When accessing the Administrator Tools for the first time during a session, you are prompted for the
username and password. Log on as an Administrator using the username root
and default password pass.
It is recommended that you change the root password, since all Axis products are shipped with the same
password as default. For further information on this, refer to System Security, on page 22.
Prior to accessing the Installation Wizard or Administration Tools over a network, you must first set the
Internet address, as described in Connecting to a Network, on page 12.
