Remedial actions
Please refer to the camera's documentation for help on resolving the
problem.
Check all cables, including the network cable from the camera to the
network. See the camera's documentation.
In the camera's administration tools, click on External Devices and
select the AXIS 2191 Audio Module.
Check the firmware in the camera by checking if External Devices
appears in the camera's Administration Tools. If not, the camera does
not have the correct firmware and it must be upgraded.
Check that:
• soundcard, speakers and microphone are connected
• the Mute button is not pressed
• the Int/Ext switch for the input is in the correct position
• the input and output levels are correct
• all cabling is connected and all power switches are ON
Set the value of the Post Content Length in your proxy server to 1MB or
more. You may need to contact your system administrator to do this.
Check the setting in the camera's administration tools. See also page 4.
For information on how to check if your sound card supports full-
duplex, please visit www.axis.com and see the support section for Axis
camera products.
Try limiting the number of clients allowed to connect.
Reduce the available bandwidth by changing to a lower setting in the
Available Bandwidth selector. Setting a lower bandwidth will reduce
any break-up in the sound, but will also increase the transmission
delay.
If running in Full-Duplex mode, try switching to Half-Duplex mode.
Relocate the speakers or microphone so that they do not point towards
each other, and/or lower the volume.
Headphones can only be used by connecting them to Speaker-Out on
the terminal connector.
Verify that you are using an AXIS PS-D power supply.
Check the Internet firewall with your system administrator.
Check if you need to configure the default router settings.
