In auto mode, the button pauses/resumes the automatic cycling of the video sources. If the AXIS 292 is disconnected, pressing the button makes the unit connect to the first encoder in the video source list, in both manual and auto mode.
Installing the AXIS 292 Mounting The AXIS 292 is supplied with a mounting kit for wall or rack mounting. The mounting brackets can be positioned for mounting the unit on a vertical surface or in a rack (4U). Follow the instructions below to attach the brackets: Slide the grey frame off the front panel (no tools needed).
• DHCP is enabled by default. Automatic Installation using DHCP DHCP is enabled by default on the AXIS 292. If a DHCP server is available, follow these instructions to install the AXIS 292. 1. Connect a standard network cable to the AXIS 292 and connect it to the network.

• NTSC- Vertical: 0 till 479, Horizontal: 0 till 719. The sum of the vertical values cannot exceed 479. The sum of the horizontal values cannot exceed 719. Audio out Volume (0-100) - Set the level of the audio output on the AXIS 292. The default value is AXIS 292 - General page...
AXIS 292 - Video Sources Video Sources This section describes how to add and manage video sources (encoders) in the AXIS 292 Network Video Decoder. The Video Source List shows all of the sources currently added to the system. Various information about each source is shown, including the source’s last known status.
Page 17
AXIS 292. In this case, the format should instead be set to MPEG-2 unicast. As video sources are added to the AXIS 292 they are stored in the unit’s cache. This makes reconnecting to a source much faster. Note that performing certain actions will empty the unit’s cache and start a new round of autodetection.
Page 18
AXIS 292 - Video Sources Resolution - This setting is only valid for Motion JPEG video sources. To use a resolution other than the source's default value, check the Custom box and enter the required resolution. If the selected resolution is not available in the encoder, the current setting will be used instead.
If a DHCP server is available on the network, you can use this to assign an IP address, DNS server addresses and a host name to the AXIS 292. To see the current settings, click the View buttons. The network settings can also be configured manually as follows:...
Page 20
If you are running a DNS server on your network and wish to connect to the AXIS 292 using a name, enter the product’s host name here. The host name is usually the same as the assigned DNS Name. A host name is always the first part of a Fully Qualified Domain Name and is always one word, with no period.
The encrypted exchange of information between server and client is governed by the use of an HTTPS certificate, which guarantees the authenticity of the server. To install a certificate on the AXIS 292 you will need to create and send a certificate request to a Certificate Authority (CA).
Select button on the front panel. Manual sequence mode When in manual mode, the AXIS 292 displays a single video source and only skips to the next source when the video select button is pressed. Various user actions and system events in the AXIS 292 can give different results, depending on the currently selected mode.
Many Axis video encoders (network cameras and video servers) can send notification messages whenever certain types of event occur. These messages can be received by the AXIS 292 and used as alarms. The incoming alarm causes the AXIS 292 to switch to the video source in the alarm message.
For the AXIS 292 to respond correctly to alarms, the following steps need to be taken: 1. In the AXIS 292, add the video encoder to receive alarms from as a new video source. The name for it will be used in the notification message. See also page 16.
Enter the notification message in the Message field, in the format: sourcename=<name from list>&textmessage=<my message> For example: sourcename=axis210&textmessage=Door is open The message is sent to the TCP port (default 2048) on the AXIS 292. HTTP notification syntax Enter the notification message in the Custom parameters field, in the format: sourcename=<name from list>&textmessage=<my message>...
In certain circumstances, it may be necessary to reinstate the Factory Default Default - settings for the AXIS 292. This is performed in one of two ways: • By clicking the Default button on the Maintenance page. • By pressing the Control button, located on the front panel, and by following the instructions below.

To upgrade the firmware, see Upgrade Server, on page 27. Emergency Recovery Procedure If power to the AXIS 292 is lost during the upgrade, the process will fail and the unit will become unresponsive. A flashing red Status LED indicates a previously failed upgrade and that the unit is now in rescue mode.
In this case, check all cabling and reinstall the unit. If using a proxy server, try disabling the proxy setting in your browser Press the Video Select button on the front of the AXIS 292 to see the IP address on the TV mon- itor screen.
