Important!

The information and screen examples featured here are specific to Windows NT. Although similar to the dial-up procedures in other Windows versions, small deviations in the dialog instructions for other operating systems should be expected. Refer to your system documentation for further infor- mation on creating a dial-up modem connection if you are using any other operating system.

Windows dial-up Networking and TCP/IP must be correctly installed prior to commencing with the modem cable connection. Detailed information on how to check this is provided in Windows Help.

Follow the steps below to configure a serial modem connection for your AXIS 2120:

Connect the supplied Null modem cable between the Serial Connector on the AXIS 2120 and the serial port on your computer.

Connect the power supply to the camera server and check that the Power Indicator is lit.

From the Start menu, open the Control Panel and double-click the Modems icon.

If a Standard Modem is already set up and displayed in the Modem Properties dialog (see right) proceed directly to step 8.

Check the checkbox:

Don’t detect my modem, I will select it from a list. Click Next>.

Select the Standard 28800 modem from the displayed list of modems. Click Next>.

A Standard 28800 modem connection is now available for the AXIS 2120. Click Finish to close the Install New Modem Wizard.

Click Close.

Select the serial port to which your AXIS 2120 is now connected via the Null Modem cable. Click Next>.

Click the Properties button to finally check that the displayed Communications Port is set correctly; that is, set to the same port as you have connected the AXIS 2120. Click OK.
