User Access Rights
As an Administrator, click System and then Users to perform any of the following tasks:
•define or edit the administrator (root) password
•define, add and delete user names and passwords
•assign individual access rights to a selected user, where each user is given one or all of the follow- ing levels of access:
-Admin: a user granted Admin rights has exclusive access to the camera’s Administration Tools and can consequently determine the registration of all users.
-
-View: provides the lowest level of access, which allows the user to view the images only. Add- ing at least one such user will disallow anonymous users.
Important!
•The Administrator’s default username and password (set to root and pass) can be used for logging in to the unit for the first time, but the default password must be changed to enable the camera’s secu- rity functions. All Axis products are shipped with the same password as default.
•By default, the AXIS 2100 is set for anonymous user access, which means that anybody on the Inter- net/intranet can view the video images from a Web browser. To restrict open access, simply register a single authorized user with viewing rights. This effectively revokes the anonymous user service and restricts camera access to specified users. If the anonymous user service is satisfactory for your appli- cation, simply do not add any other users.
Reinstating the Factory Default Settings
In certain circumstances, it may be necessary to reinstate the Factory Default settings for your AXIS 2100. This is performed by clicking the Support link in the Administration Tools and then selecting Restart/Reset, or by pressing the Control Button. Follow the instructions below to reinstate the product factory default settings using the Control button:
1.Switch off the AXIS 2100 by disconnecting the power cable.
2.Press and hold the Control Button depressed, and reconnect the power supply cable.
3.Continue to keep the Control button depressed until the Status Indicator displays yellow (note that this may take up to 30 seconds), then release the Control Button. The AXIS 2100 now restarts automatically and the Status Indicator displays green after approximately 5 seconds.
Your AXIS 2100 is now reset to its original factory default settings.
Notes: •Reinstating the original default settings will cause all parameters (including the IP address) to be 
reset.
•Refer to Installing Your Camera on a Network, on page 20, for information on how to set the camera’s IP address.
