Accessing the product
Access from the Internet
Once connected, the Axis product is accessible on your local network (LAN). To access the product from the Internet you must
configure your network router to allow incoming data traffic to the product. To do this, enable the NAT-traversal feature, which
will attempt to a utomatically config ure the router to a llow a ccess to the product. This is e nabled from Setup > System Options >
Network > TCP/IP Advanced.
For more information, please see NAT t raversal (port mapping) for IPv4, on pag e 45.SeealsoAXISInternetDynamicDNSServiceat

Set the root password
To gain access to the Axis product, you must set the password for the default administrator user root. This is done in the Con figure
Root Password dialog, which appears when the produ
ct is accessed for the first time.
To prevent network eavesdropping, t
he root password can b e set via an encrypted HTTPS connection, which requires an H TTPS
certificate. HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over SSL) is a protocol used to encrypt traffic between web browsers and servers. The
HTTPS certificate ensures encrypted exchange of information.
