AXIS 2400/2401 Administration Manual
26
The AXIS 2400/2401is now reset to factory default settings. Restart the AXIS 2400/2401by
disconnecting and then reconnecting the power cable.
Note: The Ethernet address remains unchanged, but all other parameters including the IP address are
reset. Refer to Assigning an IP Address, on page 13 for details on how to set the IP number.
Network Settings
The AXIS 2400/2401 supports the following networking protocols that are configured directly via
Network Settings:
• Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) - used by the Video Server for
transmitting data over the network.
• Domain Name System (DNS) - the Internet service used by the product for translating domain
names into Internet Addresses.
• Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) - this is the protocol for sending e-mail messages
between e-mail servers on the network. The AXIS 2400/2401 can be pre-programmed to send
images as e-mail attachments to pre-defined addresses.
Note: •DNS servers are only necessary if scripts with DNS names are used. If you do not use scripts or
only use IP addresses in scripts, you need not enter a DNS server reference.
Click the Network icon within the graphic user interface, or click the Network Settings button to
configure the above protocols, using the Wizard, or by clicking Detailed View.
Using the Wizard
The Wizard guides you through the setup procedures for each of the above protocols - one at a
time. After completing one protocol, you optionally proceed to configure another protocol.
Clicking the Finish button on the last page of the Wizard saves the new settings to the Video
Server.
