AXIS M7001 Installation Guide

Resetting to the factory default settings

This will reset all parameters, including the IP address, to the factory default settings:

1.Disconnect the network cable from the AXIS M7001.

2.Press and hold the Control button (see figure on page 4) and reconnect the network cable.

3.Keep the Control button pressed until the Status indicator displays amber (this may take up to 15 seconds).

4.Release the Control button. When the Status indicator displays green (which can take up to 1 minute) the process is complete and the video encoder has been reset.

5.Re-assign the IP address, using one of the methods described in this document.

It is also possible to reset parameters to the original factory default settings via the web interface. For more information, please see the online help or the User’s Manual.

Accessing the AXIS M7001 from the Internet

Once installed, your AXIS M7001 is accessible on your local network (LAN). To access the video encoder from the Internet, network routers must be configured to allow incoming traffic, which is usually done on a specific port.

HTTP port (default port 80) for viewing and configuration

RTSP port (default port 554) for viewing H.264 video streams

Please refer to the documentation for your router for further instructions. For more information on this and other topics, visit the Axis Support Web at www.axis.com/techsup
