Proprietary ISP Dial-up Protocols
If your ISP requires you to install special software before initiating a Dial-up connection, it is likely
that your ISP is using proprietary protocols incompatible with the standard-based AXIS 2120. In
these circumstances, Axis recommends that you ask your ISP for an alternative dial-up service that
allows for standard dial-up networking, or ask them to provide a standard Linux dial-up
connection. Axis does not guarantee the compatibility of this product with any ISP requiring the
use of proprietary or non-standard software as a pre-requisite for Dial-up connections.
Remote Imaging in a Custom-designed Web Page
The AXIS 2120 can be configured as a standalone application that is remote from any network.
Ideal for remote monitoring, home security, and process control applications, you can quickly
configure the AXIS 2120 for direct connection to a serial modem. Use this application to view
remote images from anywhere - from the comfort of your home, or the convenience of your office.

Once the dial-up connection for your AXIS 2120 is established, the product plugs directly into a
serial modem to provide immediate access to live video images in your own custom-designed Web
page. You access the images and the product Web pages in exactly the same way as you would when
connected to your ISP.
