AXIS 2110 User’s Manual Overview 5
Overview
The AXIS 2110 is a digital TCP/IP network camera that includes all of the required
networking connectivity for distributing images or live video over an intranet, or the
Internet. With its own built-in Web server, it allows high-quality remote surveillance
images to be viewed directly from any browser on the network, and provides full
Web-based control of the various management and configuration functions.
The AXIS 2110 can be used in indoor or outdoor environments. In the latter case, the
camera must be housed in a suitable outdoor enclosure.
Use the camera for intruder detection, process control, industrial and public surveillance,
visual security, image archiving, or any other application requiring remote monitoring.
Designed using an open-network structure, the AXIS 2110 minimizes the need for costly
and complex coaxial cabling - to press your installation overheads and provide you with
an advanced yet cost-effective network imaging solution. None of the hidden accessories
normally associated with digital cameras are required.

Using Your Camera with a Modem AXIS 2110 User’s Manual
14
Using Your Camera with a Modem
The information in this section describes how to set up the AXIS 2110 for use with a serial
modem for transmitting images over a standard Dial-up connection.
Initial Steps
Before you can set up and access a modem-connected AXIS 2110 from a browser, you
must first create a local connection to it. This connection is only required for the initial
setup, and can be created using the network or the supplied Null Modem Cable.
Using the Network
The easiest and best way to configure the camera for use with a modem is to first install it
onto a local network, if available. See Installing Your Camera on a Network, on page 11
for more information. You can then use the Wizards and Administration tools to configure
the modem connection and the application.
Using the Null Modem Cable
When there is no network available, the alternative is to connect a local computer to the
AXIS 2110 using the supplied Null Modem Cable. You then create a Dial-up connection
and establish the basic settings, using the Wizards and Administration Tools. See the
following pages for more information. This type of connection is only a temporary
solution that provides initial access to the camera. Once you have set up the camera for
modem access, then all configuration can be done via the modem connection instead and
you will not need to use the cable again.
Important!
Quick Start For Advanced Users:
Follow these abbreviated instructions if you are experienced with Windows Dial-up
Networking:
1. Connect the camera to the Ethernet Network if available, and use a browser to open the
IP address you set for your AXIS 2110. Proceed to step 5. If no network is available, use
the Null Modem Cable and proceed to step 2.
Please note that the Null Modem Cable is only intended for the initial configuration of modem applica-
tions when there is no Ethernet Network available. It is not possible to use the cable as a serial connec-
tion for using the AXIS 2110 as a "PC webcam".

AXIS 2110 User’s Manual Using Your Camera with a Modem 15
2. Set up an existing session to 115 200bps, using the physical COM port to which you
have connected your AXIS 2110.
3. Log on with user ID root and password pass. The phone number you enter are
irrelevant at log on and you should thus use dummy numbers for completing these
dialogs.
4. Start your Dial-up Networking session and enter any URL: the AXIS 2110 emulates a
DNS server and will respond to this regardless.
5. Start the Installation Wizard and Administration Tools to further configure the product,
as described in Configuring Your Camera, on page 20.
