Installation
============

- Make sure ActiveSync is installed on your desktop computer.

- Run the self-extracting AXISInstallationMonitorSetup.msi file on the desktop
  computer.
  
- Follow the instructions.

- During the installation you will be asked if .NET Compact Framework 2.0
  should be installed or not, if you are unsure of this, select Yes.  

Once your PDA is connected to ActiveSync the application will be installed
on the PDA and can be found under the Start/Programs section.


Uninstallation
==============

- On the desktop computer, click "Remove" for AXIS Installation Monitor, 
  Start/Control Panel/Add or Remove Programs.
  
- On the PDA, click "Remove" for AXIS Installation Monitor, 
  Start/Settings/System/Remove Programs.


Recommendations
===============

- Observe the hardware requirements for running AXIS Installation Monitor.
  See product details at www.axis.com for more information.

- Make sure that the PDA network configuration is correct and that no more
  than one network is active when running AXIS Installation Monitor.
  (For example using wireless and a wired connection at the same time is
  not recommended.)

- Avoid using DHCP if possible and assign a static IP address to the PDA.
  Either use a valid address for the network that the PDA will be connected
  to, or use an Auto IP / Link Local address.
  
- Don't configure the PDA to use DHCP if you are going to connect directly
  to a camera using a crossover cable. The PDA will not establish a valid
  network until the discovery of a DHCP server have timed out, which may
  take up to 60 seconds.

- When connecting to a mega pixel camera, configure the monitor settings to
  use a low enough resolution that the PDA and network connection can handle.
  

Network Configuration
=====================

Here is an example network configuration using a Windows Mobile 5.0 PDA
and an Ethernet Adapter.

The PDA is configured to use an AutoIP/Link Local address, since the
advantage of such an address is that it can be used with almost any
network as long as you only connect to local cameras.

Connections:
- Select Start/Settings/Connections.
- Select Connections, under My Work Network, select "Setup my proxy server".
  Check "This network connects to the Internet".
  Uncheck the "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet."
- Select OK to close the proxy dialog.
- Select Advanced/Select Networks.
- Set both internet and private network to use the work network.
- Select OK to close the dialog.
- Select OK again to return to the Start/Settings/Connections page.

Network Adapter:
- Select Start/Settings/Connections.
- Select Network Cards.
- Set "My network card connects to:" to "Work".
- Select the network adapter from the list.
- In the network adapter, set it to use a specific IP address.
  IP: 169.254.1.45
  Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
  Leave "Default gateway" blank.
  Also leave all the DNS and WINS addresses blank.
- Select OK to close the adapter dialog.
- Select OK to close the Network Cards dialog.

For the settings to become active, you may need to turn on and off the PDA or
reinsert your network adapter.

Note: While the PDA is configured to use an AutoIP address you can still access
the AXIS devices using other applications, such as the PDA Internet Explorer,
however you will have to use the devices AutoIP address to access them. The device
Auto IP address can be found in the properties dialog for that device in AXIS
Installation Monitor.

Known limitations
=================

- When PTZ Control Queue is enabled in the device, the application may not
  be able to control PTZ.

- When using DHCP and disconnecting/reconnecting to a network, the application
  may fail to contact the first devices that are discovered. Refreshing the
  device list solves this.
