Using FTP
Having assigned an IP address to your AXIS 5400, as described in Assigning an IP address on page 25, you can change the AXIS 5400 parameter settings using the File Transport Protocol (FTP).
Editing the config file Follow the instructions below to edit the config file using FTP:
1. Log in to the AXIS 5400 by typing:
ftp <host name> or ftp <IP address> in a DOS window (Windows and OS/2) or in a UNIX shell window.
2.Enter the user id and the password. (The default entries are root and pass.)
3.Download the config file to your host by typing:
get config
4.Edit the file using your preferred text editor.
5.Save the config file to the AXIS 5400 by typing:
put config CONFIG
Notes: ❏ It is important that the destination file is specified in capital letters. Otherwise the edits are temporary and will be lost once the AXIS 5400 has been powered down.
