Status Indicator

Used in conjunction with the Focus Assistant, this multi-colored indicator can be configured for use as a local focusing aid (for further details please refer to Adjusting the Camera Focus, on page 32). Under normal conditions however, this indicator shows the operational status of the camera, as described below:

•green - the indicator flashes briefly and momentarily displays orange during the start-up and self-test routines. The indicator then displays green to indicate a healthy unit status.

•red - the indicator will display red only if a problem with the AXIS 2100 has occurred.

Refer to Appendix A - Troubleshooting.

Note: The Status indicator also displays orange when re-setting to the factory default settings, as described in Reinstating the Factory Default Settings, on page 40.

Lens Assembly

Includes a wide angle lens with rotational focus control.

The supplied lens is removable and can be replaced with any standard C/CS lens.

Serial Number

Located on the underside label of the AXIS 2100, the serial number is identical to the Ethernet address of the unit.

Control Button

Located to the left of the lens assembly; this button is recessed within the product casing. Using a suitably pointed object, press this button to restore the factory default settings as described in Reinstating the Factory Default Settings, on page 40; or enable the Focus Assistant, as described in Adjusting the Camera Focus, on page 32.
