  • Page 2: Get Started

    Get started Find the device on the network To find Axis devices on the network and assign them IP addresses in Windows®, use AXIS IP Utility or AXIS Device Manager. Both applications are free and can be downloaded from axis.com/support.

  • Page 3: Web Interface Overview

    Verify that no one has tampered with the firmware To make sure that the device has its original Axis firmware, or to take full control of the device after a security attack: 1. Reset to factory default settings. See Reset to factory default settings on page 32.

  • Page 4: Configure Your Device

    AXIS A9210 Network I/O Relay Module Configure your device Configure your device Configure an I/O port 1. Go to Device > I/Os and relays > AXIS A9210 > I/Os. 2. Click to expand the I/O port settings. 3. Rename the port.
  • Page 5 AXIS A9210 Network I/O Relay Module Configure your device 4. Select which Action the device should perform when the conditions are met. Note If you make changes to an active rule, the rule must be turned on again for the changes to take effect.

  • Page 6: The Web Interface

    AXIS A9210 Network I/O Relay Module The web interface The web interface To reach the device’s web interface, type the device’s IP address in a web browser. Note Support for the features and settings described in this section varies between devices. This icon indicates that the feature or setting is only available in some devices.
  • Page 7 Shows what kind of access to the device that is active, and what encryption protocols are in use. Recommendations to the settings are based on the AXIS OS Hardening Guide. Hardening guide: Link to AXIS OS Hardening guide where you can learn more about cybersecurity on Axis devices and best practices.
  • Page 8 Apps Add app: Install a new app. Find more apps: Find more apps to install. You will be taken to an overview page of Axis apps. Allow unsigned apps : Turn on to allow installation of unsigned apps.
  • Page 9 AXIS A9210 Network I/O Relay Module The web interface If you don’t have a license key, go to axis.com/products/analytics. You need a license code and the Axis product serial number to generate a license key. • Activate license automatically: If the app requires a license, you need to activate it. Use this option if your device has internet access.
  • Page 10 AXIS A9210 Network I/O Relay Module The web interface Assign IPv4 automatically: Select to let the network router assign an IP address to the device automatically. We recommend automatic IP (DHCP) for most networks. IP address: Enter a unique IP address for the device. Static IP addresses can be assigned at random within isolated networks, provided that each address is unique.
  • Page 11 One-click cloud connection One-click cloud connection (O3C) together with an O3C service provides easy and secure internet access to live and recorded video from any location. For more information, see axis.com/end-to-end-solutions/hosted-services. Allow O3C: • One-click: This is the default setting. Press and hold the control button on the device to connect to an O3C service over the internet.
  • Page 12 Authentication failed: Sends a trap message when an authentication attempt fails. Note All Axis Video MIB traps are enabled when you turn on SNMP v1 and v2c traps. For more information, see AXIS OS Portal > SNMP. • v3: SNMP v3 is a more secure version, which provides encryption and secure passwords. To use SNMP v3, we recommend you to activate HTTPS, as the password is then sent through HTTPS.
  • Page 13 When configured without a CA certificate, server certificate validation is disabled and the device tries to authenticate itself regardless of what network it is connected to. When using a certificate, in Axis' implementation, the device and the authentication server authenticate themselves with digital certificates using EAP-TLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol - Transport Layer Security).
  • Page 14 AXIS A9210 Network I/O Relay Module The web interface Prevent brute-force attacks Blocking: Turn on to block brute-force attacks. A brute-force attack uses trial-and-error to guess login info or encryption keys. Blocking period: Enter the number of seconds to block a brute-force attack.
  • Page 15 To install test firmware or other custom firmware from Axis on the device, you need a custom signed firmware certificate. The certificate verifies that the firmware is approved by both the device owner and Axis. The firmware can only run on a specific device which is identified by its unique serial number and chip ID.
  • Page 16 AXIS A9210 Network I/O Relay Module The web interface Add SSH account: Click to add a new SSH account. • Restrict root access: Turn on to restrict functionality that requires root access. • Enable SSH: Turn on to use SSH service.
  • Page 17 AXIS A9210 Network I/O Relay Module The web interface Add a rule: Create a rule. Name: Enter a name for the rule. Wait between actions: Enter the minimum time (hh:mm:ss) that must pass between rule activations. It is useful if the rule is activated by, for example, day-night mode conditions, to avoid that small light changes during sunrise and sunset activate the rule repeatedly.
  • Page 18 RSA is the preferred method during negotiation, followed by ECDSA, ED25519, and DSA. Make sure to enter the right MD5 host key that is used by your SFTP server. While the Axis device supports both MD5 and SHA-256 hash keys, we recommend using SHA-256 due to stronger security over MD5. For more information on how to configure an SFTP server with an Axis device, go to the AXIS OS Portal.
  • Page 19 IoT integration and is used in a wide variety of industries to connect remote devices with a small code footprint and minimal network bandwidth. The MQTT client in Axis device firmware can simplify integration of data and events produced in the device to systems which are not video management software (VMS).
  • Page 20 AXIS A9210 Network I/O Relay Module The web interface Connect: Turn on or off the MQTT client. Status: Shows the current status of the MQTT client. Broker Host: Enter the hostname or IP address of the MQTT server. Protocol: Select which protocol to use.
  • Page 21 AXIS A9210 Network I/O Relay Module The web interface Use default: Turn off to enter your own default message. Topic: Enter the topic for the default message. Payload: Enter the content for the default message. Retain: Select to keep the state of client on this Topic QoS: Change the QoS layer for the packet flow.
  • Page 22 Severity: Select which messages to send when triggered. CA certificate set: See the current settings or add a certificate. Plain config Plain config is for advanced users with experience of Axis device configuration. Most parameters can be set and edited from this page.

  • Page 23: Maintenance

    Note All Axis device firmware is digitally signed to ensure that you only install verified firmware on your device. This further increases the overall minimum cybersecurity level of Axis devices. For more information, see the white paper “Signed firmware, secure boot, and security of private keys” at axis.com.

    This ensures no data stored in the file system can be extracted or tampered with when the device is not in use, unauthenticated access to the device is achieved and/or the Axis device is stolen. During the secure boot process, the read-write filesystem is decrypted and can be mounted and used by the Axis device.
