AXIS 2420 User's Manual

Custom Web Pages

The AXIS 2420 contains a re-writable flash memory file system that allows some
directories and files to be changed by the root user, using FTP. This strictly non-supported
product functionality makes it possible for advanced users and application developers to
add their own Web pages, scripts, and other files to the Axis product.
Caution!
• Essentially a hidden feature within the product, modification of the flash file system is not supported
by Axis. In practice this means that Axis will not answer questions regarding Web page or script
development.
• In attempting to make any modification to the product, you may inadvertently create a problem that
will require you to return the AXIS 2420 to its factory default settings, or even cause permanent
damage to the unit that renders it unusable. Consequently, Axis strongly recommends that inexperi-
enced users DO NOT undertake any modifications described in this section.
• Axis does not provide any support in association with this functionality nor take any responsibility
for problems arising from it, but merely wishes to inform potential application developers of the pos-
sibilities afforded by the Linux-based file structure of the AXIS 2420.
Customizing Procedures
