Modem Applications

If a local network connection is not available at your chosen point of installation, you can alternatively connect your AXIS 2120 to a V.90-compatible modem and quickly configure any number of exciting applications using the Wizards; including:

• Viewing images in a fully custom-designed Web page over a Dial-up modem connection.

• Sequentially uploading images to an ISP (Internet Service Provider) over a dial-up modem connection and publishing images to the whole Internet community.

• Uploading single or pre/post alarm image sequences to your ISP over a dial-up modem con- nection, when an alarm or time-based event occurs; and optionally, sending e-mail alerts con- taining single images or Web links to pre/post alarm images stored by your ISP.

Important!

•Although the AXIS 2120 is compatible with most V.90-compliant modems, Axis does not undertake any responsibility for V.90 modems that fail to work with the product.

•When the AXIS 2120 is dialing out it will obviously not be possible to dial-in to it. If you configure an interval during which the camera will not be dialling out, this will allow you to dial-in and make any necessary changes etc.

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. If there is no network available, you can instead use the supplied Null Modem Cable to create a direct connection to the AXIS 2120 from the computer. This direct connection is only intended as an alternative for the initial configuration of the modem application when there is no network available. The Null Modem Cable should not be used for any other purpose.

Note: Once the Dial-up modem connection has been created and the AXIS 2120 is physically connected to the modem, you can then dial-up your AXIS 2120 in exactly the same way as you would to your ISP. The installer of the camera uses the Installation and Application Wizards to establish the basic parameters for your application, and advanced users can then use the Administration Tools to refine the application.
