Checking the server settings of your Axis video unit
2016-08-25Last updated
If the state of the video unit does not change from Waiting for connection to
Connected when adding your Axis video unit in Stratocast™, you
can check the server settings of your Axis video unit.
Before you begin
If troubleshooting your video unit, make sure that the required ports are open, and
do the following:
Ping the Axis dispatch servers from your Axis video unit.
Check the default gateway of your Axis video unit.
Check the DNS server addresses of your Axis video unit.
Procedure
Open the video unit’s web page and log on. You must be
connected to your client's network to be able to access the video unit's web
page.
Important: For the duration that your video
unit is enrolled in Stratocast™, use your video unit's owner
authentication key (OAK) as the password to log on to your video unit's Axis
web page. If your OAK contains hyphens, omit them when entering your
password.
Click Setup
> System Options
> Advanced
> Plain Config.
From the Select group drop-down list,
select RemoteService and then click
Select group.
If a Stratocast™xxx.cloudapp.net address appears
in the Server list field, do the following:
Delete the video unit from Stratocast™.
CAUTION: If you delete a camera that
is connected to a video encoder that has multiple cameras connected to it, all
other cameras that are connected to that same video encoder are also deleted
automatically.
Wait ten minutes and try adding the video unit again. If problem
persists, contact Stratocast™ support.
If a Stratocast™xxx.cloudapp.net address does not
appear in the Server list field,
restore the server settings of your Axis video unit.
