Appendix F - The Unit Connectors

This section provides an overview of the product connectors, namely:
•1 x RS-232 Serial Connector
•2 x I/O Connectors (I/O-A and I/O-B)
•1 x DC-Iris Connector
•1 x BNC Video Output

The RS-232 Serial Connector

In the absence of a local network connection, a single 9-pin D-sub connector provides a
dedicated physical interface for connecting a modem or computer to the AXIS 2420. This
RS-232 interface supports modem speeds of up to 115kbps and effectively allows the AXIS
2420 to operate as a standalone unit independent of any computer network. So, when a
local network connection is unavailable at the point of installation, you can simply
connect your PC to this connector and use the supplied Null Modem Cable to initially
configure your product.
Note:
The Axis Camera Division maintains a list of all supported modems. Please visit our Website at
www.axis.com for this and other late information on our products.
