Configuring using FTP
The configuration parameters of your AXIS 200+ can be modified
using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP). FTP is supported by most
operating environments.
Modifying the
Configuration File
The instructions below describe how to modify the configuration file
using FTP:
1. In a DOS or UNIX window, type
ftp cameraname, where
cameraname is the name or Internet address of your AXIS 200+.
2. Login using the user root and the root password. Default password
is
pass
. You are highly recommended to change the root password,
since all Axis products are shipped with this password as default.
3. Windows 95 only: Change directory not to overwrite any of your
system files.
4. Use the
get config to access the configuration file.
5. Edit the config file using any editor. In Windows 95/98 and
Windows NT environments, you can use the Notepad editor to edit
the parameters you wish.
6. Once the editing is complete, save the file as
config. Type put
config CONFIG
to save the configuration file permanently. Note
that if the last uppercase
CONFIG is omitted, the file will only be
stored temporarily until the next time the product is powered off.
7. To exit FTP, type the command
quit, bye, or exit.
Caution!
❏ Windows 95/98 has a library called config that contains
important system files. It is therefore important to change this
directory using the
cd command before modifying your AXIS
200+ configuration file from within a Windows 95/98
environment. Failure to do this may result in some of your system
files to be overwritten.
