30 AXIS 221 - System Options
System Options
Security
User access control is enabled by default, when the administrator sets the root password on
first access. An administrator can set up other users, by giving these user names and
passwords. It is also possible to allow anonymous viewer login, which means that anybody
may access the Live View page, as described below:
Users - the user list displays the authorized users and user groups (levels):
Provides the lowest level of access, which only allows access to the Live View page.
An operator can view the Live View page, create and modify event types and adjust certain other
settings. Operators have no access to the System Options.
An administrator has unrestricted access to all the setup tools and can determine the registration of
all other users.
User Settings - check the relevant checkboxes to enable:
• Anonymous viewer login - allows any viewer direct access to the Live View
page.
• Maximum number of simultaneous viewers - enter a value here to restrict the
number of unicast viewers accessing the unit. This is useful if you need to save
on bandwidth. (Note that all multicast viewers count as 1 viewer.)
IP Address Filtering
Checking the Enable IP address filtering box enables the IP address filtering function,
whereby the IP addresses in the list of filtered addresses will be allowed or denied access to
the AXIS 221.
Up to 256 IP address entries may be specified (a single entry can contain multiple IP
addresses). All other IP addresses not in this list will be allowed or denied access
accordingly, i.e. if the addresses in the list are allowed, then all others are denied access,
and vice versa. Click the Add button to add new filtered addresses. See also the online help
for more information.
Note that users from IP addresses that will be allowed must also be registered as users,
which is done from Setup > Security > Users.
