Installing via a Modem

The information in this section describes how to connect the AXIS 2420 to a serial modem
for transmitting images over a dial-up connection.
Important!
• Although instructions for configuring the AXIS 2420 using a null modem cable are provided below, it is
recommended that (if possible) the unit is initially installed and configured over a network.
• The information and screen examples featured within this section are specific to Windows NT. Although
similar to the Dial-Up implementations in Windows 95, 98, and 2000, small deviations in the dialog
instructions for other operating systems should be expected. Refer to your system information for further
information on creating a Dial-Up modem connection if you are using any other operating system.
• Windows Dial-Up Networking and TCP/IP must be correctly installed prior to commencing with the
modem cable connection. Detailed information on how to check this is provided in Windows Help.
