Configuration
All modem applications must initially be configured from a browser on a local computer. If available, you should always use an Ethernet network for this purpose, even if the actual application will be using a modem. When there is no network available, you can use the supplied Null Modem Cable to create a direct connection to the AXIS 2420 from the computer. This direct connection is only intended as an alternative for the initial configuration of the modem application in the absence of a network. The Null Modem Cable should not be used for any other purpose.
Note: Once the modem connection has been created and the AXIS 2420 is physically connected to the modem, you can then connect to your camera in exactly the same way as you would to your ISP - with no further configuration whatsoever. You use the Installation and Application Wizards to establish the basic parameters for your application, and advanced users can optionally use the Administration Tools to refine their application once the basic configuration is complete.
