AXIS A1001 Network Door Controller
How to set the root password
To access the Axis product, you must set the password for the default administrator user root.
This is done in the Configure Root Password dialog, which opens when the product is accessed
for the first time.
To prevent network eavesdropping, the root password can be set via an encrypted HTTPS connection,
which requires an HTTPS certificate. HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over SSL) is a protocol
used to encrypt traffic between web browsers and servers. The HTTPS certificate ensures encrypted
exchange of information.
The default administrator user name root is permanent and cannot be deleted. If the password for
root is lost, the product must be reset to the factory default settings. For information about how to
reset the product to factory default, see the product's User Manual.
To set the password, enter it directly in the dialog.
Configure the hardware
Configure the hardware in the Hardware Configuration pages before installing the product.
You can connect readers, locks and other devices to the Axis product before you complete the
hardware configuration. However, it will be easier to connect devices if you complete the hardware
configuration first. This is because a hardware pin chart will be available when the configuration is
complete. The hardware pin chart is a guide on how to connect devices to the pins and can be used
as a reference sheet for maintenance. For maintenance instructions, see page 46.
To configure the hardware, select one of the following methods:
• Import a hardware configuration file. See page 42.
• Create a new hardware configuration. See page 43.
Note
If the product's hardware has not been configured before or has been deleted, Hardware
Configuration will be available in the notification panel in the Overview page.
How to import a hardware configuration file
The hardware configuration of the Axis product can be completed faster by importing a hardware
configuration file.
For information about exporting hardware configuration files, see the User Manual.
To import a hardware configuration file:
1. Go to Setup > Hardware Configuration.
