Once the dial-up connection for your AXIS 2120 is established, the product plugs directly into a serial modem to provide immediate access to live video images in your own custom-designed Web page. You access the images and the product Web pages in exactly the same way as you would when connected to your ISP.

Installation and Configuration Overview

Configure the AXIS 2120 for viewing images over a dial-up modem connection as follows:

1.Connect the AXIS 2120 to the network if available. Otherwise, use the supplied Null Modem Cable. Connect a computer and initiate a dial-up connection to the camera. For this and general information on the dial-up connection, refer to Installing Your Camera to a Modem on page 15.

2.Create a dedicated dial-up Connection.

3.Refine the dial-up parameters.

4.Initiate the dial-up connection.

5.Referring to Configuring Your Camera on page 21, open the product Home Page in your browser and start the Installation Wizard. Complete the Wizard to establish the standard Security, Date and Time, Image General Layout and Modem settings - selecting modem as your chosen method of connection.

6.Disconnect the AXIS 2120 from the network or Null Modem Cable and connect it directly to the modem.

7.The application setup is complete. You should now verify the installation by remotely accessing the AXIS 2120 Web pages from your browser via the connected modem.

Note: Except for when the AXIS 2120 is dialing-out, you can refine or amend the product configuration at any time using a remote Dial-up connection - or a local computer connected via the supplied Null Modem Cable.
