This will reset all parameters, including the IP address, to the Factory Default settings:

1.Disconnect the power from the AXIS Q7401, or if PoE is used disconnect the network cable.

2.Press and hold the Control button and reconnect power or the network cable if PoE is used.

3.Keep the Control button pressed until the Status indicator displays amber (this may take up to 15 seconds).

4.Release the Control button. When the Status indicator displays green (which can take up to 1 minute) the process is complete and the video encoder has been reset.

5.Re-assign the IP address, using one of the methods described in this document.

It is also possible to reset parameters to the original factory default settings via the web interface. For more information, please see the online help or the user’s manual.

Accessing the AXIS Q7401 from the Internet

Once installed, your AXIS Q7401 is accessible on your local network (LAN). To access the video encoder from the Internet, network routers must be configured to allow incoming traffic, which is usually done on a specific port.

•HTTP port (default port 80) for viewing and configuration

•RTSP port (default port 554) for viewing H.264 video streams

Please refer to the documentation for your router for further instructions. For more information on this and other topics, visit the Axis Support Web at www.axis.com/techsup
