AXIS Q7406 - Using the video encoder

Setting the root password

1. When accessing the camera for the first time, the

‘Configure Root Password’ dialog appears.

2. Enter a password and re-enter to confirm. Click OK.

3. The ‘Connect to...’ dialog appears. Enter the User

name: root

4. Enter the password set in step 2, and click OK. If the

password is lost, the camera must be reset to the

factory default settings. See Resetting to the Factory

Default Settings, on page 35.

Notes:

• The default administrator user name ‘root’ is

permanent and cannot be deleted.

• While setting the root password, click Yes to install the AXIS Media Control (AMC), if you are prompted to. You

will need administrator rights on the computer to do this.

Access from the internet

Once connected, the camera is accessible on your local network (LAN). To access the camera from the Internet you must

configure your broadband router to allow incoming data traffic to the camera. To do this, enable the NAT-traversal feature,

which will attempt to automatically configure the router to allow access to the camera. This is enabled from Setup > System

Options > Network > TCP/IP Advanced.

For more information, please see NAT

traversal (port mapping) for IPv4, on page 31. See also the AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS

Service at www.axiscam.net For Technical notes on this and other topics, visit the Axis Support web at www.axis.com/techsup

Setting the root password over a secure connection

To gain access to the product, the password for the default administrator user root must be set. This is done in the ‘Configure

Root Password’ dialog, which is displayed when the video encoder is accessed for the first time.

To prevent network eavesdropping when setting the root password

, this can be done via an encrypted HTTPS connection,

which requires an HTTPS certificate (see note below).

To set the password via a standard HTTP connection, enter it direct

ly in the first dialog shown below.

To set the password via an encrypted HTTPS

connection, follow these steps:

1. Click the Create self-signed certificate button.

2. Provide the requested information and click OK. The certificate is created and the password can now be set

securely. All traffic to and from the video encoder is encrypted from this point on.

3. Enter a password and then re-enter it to confirm the spelling. Click OK. The password has now been configured.
