Installing the Audio Module
Before installing the AXIS 2191 Audio Module, first install your network camera. Refer to the
installation section of this manual. If you intend running the audio module in full-duplex mode,
check that the sound card on your computer supports this.
Connect power to
the audio module.
If using an external microphone, connect it to
the socket provided. To use an alternative input
device, (e.g. CD-player or radio) connect it to
Line-In on the terminal block.
Connect a loudspeaker to the 3.5mm socket (amplified speakers
only), or to Out on the terminal block (speakers with no amplifica-
tion). Other devices (including headphones) are connected to the
terminal block.
Check that the power indicators on both the audio module and the
camera are lit. Note that the power LED will blink during power-up.
Using the supplied cable, connect the
audio module’s serial port to the net-
work camera’s serial port.
Set the selector switch to
Ext to use an external
microphone or device.
Otherwise, set to Int to use
the internal microphone.
Using a screwdriver,
adjust the Volume In
control so that the
Level In LED occasion-
ally shows yellow, but
not red.
To verify the connection to the AXIS 2191,
start Internet Explorer and enter the IP
address of the network camera in the loca-
tion/address field, e.g. 171.1.2.200, as shown
here. Configure the audio module from the
camera’s administration pages, as described
in the following section.
