Click this icon to open the Audio Settings page.

3. Select the Audio Mode. This can be:

• Full-Duplex (Talk and Listen Simultaneously)

• Half-Duplex (Talk and Listen)

• Simplex - Talk

• Simplex - Listen

This selection will depend on your
application. See page 35 for more
information.

4. Enter the maximum number of clients that
will be able to access the application at
any one time. Use this setting to limi t
access if you only have limited bandwidth
available.

5. If you are using Half-Duplex mode, the

Using the Different Audio Modes

Full-Duplex

Full-Duplex mode means that you can transmit and receive audio (talk and listen) at the
same time, without having to use any of the controls. This is just like having a telephone
conversation. The only controls you may wish to use are the mute checkboxes to turn off
the sound, and the level sliders, to adjust the input/output levels. This mode requires a
full-duple x sou nd card on your computer. If y our ava i lab le ba nd wid t h is 0.2 Mb it /s or l ess ,
it is recommended that you use Half-Duplex mode instead.

Half-Duplex

Half-Duplex mode also sends and receives audio in both directions, but only in one
direction at a time. This means you must actively transmit with the help of the
Push-to-Talk button. To speak, press the button (check that the microphone is not muted).
When finished speaking, release the button. You will now be receiving audio from the
other end of the connection. Note that the Push-to-Talk button can be configured for use
in two different ways - Toggle or Instant. This is set in the server’s admin tools.
Half-Duplex mode is best if you only have limited bandwidth available.

Simplex - Talk

Simplex - Talk mode means that only the web-client end of the connection can tr ansmit audio
(that is, to the AXIS 2191). This can be used to e.g. provide spoken instructions to a person
seen in the image from the video server. This mode also requires the Push-to-Talk button.

Simplex - Listen

Simplex - Listen mode can only receive audio from the AXIS 2191 to the web-client. This can
be used in remote monitoring, web attractions etc., to provide live audio, as well as video, of a
monitored situation.

Other IP Setup Methods AXIS 2400/2401 Ad min Manual

Appendix A - Other IP Setup Methods

As an alternative to the ARP command (described earlier in the Installation section of this
manual), you can set the IP address for your AXIS 2400/2401 using any of the following
methods - as appropriate for your operating system:

Method Operating Systems Refer to...

AXIS IP Installer Windows Using the AXIS IP Installer, on page 39.

BOOTP

Requiring a BOOTP daemon on your system, this
method operates over the entire network. A
request to an active daemon initiates a search of
the boot table to find an entry matching the unit’s
Ethernet address. The daemon downloads the IP
address to the device if a match is found.

UNIX

Notes: •Make sure the AXIS 2400/2401 is powered up and connected to the network.

•IP Address: Acquire an unused IP address from your Network Administrator, and do NOT use the
default IP address featured in the following examples when installing your AXIS 2400/2401.

•Server Privileges: Although no special privileges are required for Windows 95/98/ME or XP
(Home), you will need Administrator privileges for Windows NT/2000 and XP (Professional).
UNIX systems require Root privileges.

Ethernet/Mac Address: The AXIS 2400/2401 is pre-configured with a unique Ethernet/Mac Address based
upon the serial number printed on the underside label of the unit; where the serial number typically follows
the format 00-40-8c-xx-yy-zz. You need this address to complete the installation.

Notes for Macintosh Users

When using the AXIS 2400/01 on a Macintosh, please observe the following points:

• The AXIS 2400/2401 has a default IP address of 192.36.253.80.

• Assign a temporary IP address to a Mac workstation in the same subnet (e.g. 192.36.253.81)
and then connect to the server.

• Run the Installation wizard and set the desired IP address for the server.

• Reset the correct IP address for the Macintosh workstation.

• Changing the IP address for a Macintosh does not require a reboot.

• Currently there are limitations in the ActiveX Support in Internet Explorer running on the
Macintosh. This results in problems when viewing live moving images. The recommended solu­tion for viewing images from the AXIS 2400/2401 on the Macintosh is to use Netscape Navi­gator.

By sending a packet to the specified address and waiting for a reply, the PING util ity can
determine whether a specific IP address is accessible. It also provides a particularly useful
method for confirming addressing conflicts with your AXIS 2400/2401 on the network.

Having disconnected your AXIS 2400/2401, follow the instructions below in association
with Symptoms, Possible Causes and Remedial Actions, on page 42, and run the PING

additional files to the read-write area of the flash memory.

Important!

• Modification of the flash file system is NOT supported by Axis. In practice, this means that Axis will
not answer questions relating to custom sc ript or Web page development, but merely wishes to
inform potential application developers of the possibilities afforded by the Linux-based file structure
of the AXIS 2400/2401.

• When attempting to modify the product, you may inadvertently create a problem that will require
you to return the AXIS 2400/2401 to its factory def ault settings. At worst, you may even cause per­manent dama g e to the unit that renders it unus able. Conseq ue ntly, Axis strongly recomm e nds that
inexperienced users DO NOT modify the file system.

Although modification of the file system is not supported, the Axis web at www.axis.com
does maintain various documents designed to assist third-party development. These
include detailed information such as:

45

• The Axis Camera API, HTTP-Interface Specification

• A description of the reduced PHP3 scripting language

Configuring using FTP

As an alternative to configuring the AXIS 2400/2401 using a browser, the configuration
parameters of your unit can be modified using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP).

FTP is supported by most operating environments and is a useful method for quickly
downloading standard pre-configurations to one or more video servers.

Custom Web Pages

The AXIS 2400/2401 contains a re-writable flash memory file system that allows some
directories and fil es to be cha nge d by the root user, using FTP. This strictly non-supported
product functionality, makes it possible for advanced u sers and application developers to
add their own Web pages, scripts, and other files to the Axis product.

Customizing Procedures

The existing Administration pages are stored in a compressed read-only area of the file
system. If you intend to try changing them you must adhere strictly to the instructions
provided here and ensure that you DO NOT ina dvertently change any files other than those
featured in this section. Failure to comply with this notice may render your product
unusable.

All files stored in the

/etc/httpd/html directory are availabl e through the product Web

server in the virtual directory /local/. The URL to resident pages in the /etc/httpd/html
directory is

http://IP/local/<filename>.htm.

Editing and Storing Your Web pages

Follow the instructi ons b el ow t o cr eate and save cus tomi zed p ages t o the A XIS 240 0/240 1:

1. Using a html editor, create your html file and store it on your local PC hard drive.

2. Now use ftp to upload the file to the AXIS 2400/2401. Enter the following on the
command line:

ftp <server ip address >

Example!

ftp 172.21.1.200

3. Log on as

4. Change to the correct directory within the AXIS 2400/2401 by entering the following
command:

cd /etc/httpd/html

5. For binary storage of the files (not absolutely necessary, but good practice), type

root with the root password pass.

bin.

6. Upload your html files by entering:

put <filename.html>

AXIS 2400/2401 Ad min Manual Customizing The Video Serv er

7. Start your browser and view the Web pages you uploaded, by entering the following
URL in the location/Address field:

http://<server ip address>/local/<filename.html>

Example!

http://172.21.1.200/local/index.html

The images are now updated in your browser.

Creating a New Home Page

Having created and stored your new custom Web pages in product memory, you then
proceed to assign one of these pages as your default Home page in the AXIS 2400/2401, as
described below:

Caution!

Adding a new Web page to your AXIS 2400/2401 is not something that should be undertaken lightly.
Remember: Axis does not support the personalization of product Web pages and strongly recommends
that inexperienced users DO NOT

1. Start a new ftp session to the AXIS 2400/2401, by entering:

ftp <camera ip address >

perform such modifications.

2. Type

AXIS 2400/2401 Admin Manual The I/O Terminal Block

Controlling and Monitoring

By entering http requests in your browser’s URL field, you can:

• drive the rela y output high or low

• monitor the st at us of the 4 digital inputs

This requires you to ha ve root access to the AXIS 2400/2401 and co nsequently, t o suppl y a
user name and password. Login as root and supply the root password (default = pass).

Tip!

Developers wishing to create applications incorporating sophisticated alarm conditioning using the
relay output and digital inputs are encouraged to read the Camera API, HTTP-Interface Specification,
available from the Axis Web at www.axis.com.

Relay Output

You can use the supported relay ou tput to direct ly drive a maximum load of 24V AC/DC at
100mA. By connecting additional relay circuitry, it can also drive heavier loads.

The output relay is controlled using http requests, as defined in the following examples:

Example 1: - Set output 1 ON

55

http://myserver/axis-cgi/io/output.cgi?action=1:/

Example 2: - Set two 300ms pulses with 500ms delay between the pulses on output 1.

http://myserver/axis-cgi/io/output.cgi?action=1:/300\500/300\

Example 3: - Wait 1 second before setting output 1 ON.

http://myserver/axis-cgi/io/output.cgi?action=1:1000/

Digital Inputs

Four digitalinputs, progra mmed using th e Application Wizard, allow the AXIS 2400/2401
to be configured for time and alarm based image recording. For example, by connecting a
motion detector to a digital input, it is a relatively simple procedure to send a single image
(or video stream) to a remote imaging library each time the detector is activated.

Querying the Status of Digital Inputs

The status of the four supported digital inputs can be queried in exactly the same way as
the relay output. Simply enter the following URL to query the status of the digital inputs:

56
