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, e n able the NAT-traversal feature , which
will attempt to automatically configure the router to allow access to the product. This is e nabled from Setup > System Options >
Network > TCP/IP Advanc ed.
For more information, please s ee NAT traversal (port mapping) for IPv4 on page 35. See also AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service at

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 Configure
Root Password dialog, w hich appears when the product is accessed for the first time .
To prevent network eavesdropping, the root password can be set via an encrypted HTTPS connection, which requires an HTTPS
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.
To set the password via a standard HTTP connection, enter it directly in the firs t dialog.
To set the password via an encrypted HTTPS connection, follow these steps:
1. Click Create self-signed certificate.
2. Provide the requested information and click OK.Thecertificate is created and the password can now be set securely. All
traffic to and from the product is encrypted from this point on.
3. Enter a password and then re-ente r to confirm the spelling. Click OK. The password has now been configured.
Note
• The default administrator user name root is permanent and cannot be deleted.
• If the password for root is lost, the product must be reset to the factory default settings. See Reset to Factory Default
Settings on page 40.

Power line frequency is set the first time the Axis product is accessed and can only be changed from Plain Config(seepage 40)
