Installation Installation The following video shows an example of how you can install an AXIS C6110 Network Paging Console together with an AXIS TC6901 Gooseneck Microphone. For complete instructions on all installation scenarios as well as important safety information, see the installation guide on axis.com/products/axis-c6110/support.
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.
Verify that no one has tampered with the device software To make sure that the device has its original AXIS OS, 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 50.
AXIS C6110 Network Paging Console Configure your device Configure your device Set up direct SIP (P2P) Use peer-to-peer when the communication is between a few user agents within the same IP network and there is no need for extra features that a PBX-server could provide. To better understand how P2P works, see Peer-to-peer SIP (P2PSIP) on page 14.
Note Only contacts that are persons will appear in the contacts list on the display of your AXIS C6110 Paging Console. Devices will not show up in the contacts list, but you can configure a button on the display to target the device directly.
AXIS C6110 Network Paging Console Configure your device 1. Go to Contact list > Groups. 2. Click Add contact group and enter the details. For information about the options, see Contact list on page 17. 3. Click Save. Configure buttons, folders and pages To configure buttons and folders, open the web interface by entering the IP address of your paging console in a web browser.

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.

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).

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.
