To configure an Axis Powered by Genetec door controller, you need to sign in to the
AXIS device interface with a web browser.
What you should know
The AXIS device interface is the administrative web portal for the Axis Powered by
Genetec device. For more information, see The device interface in the Axis Powered by Genetec
Help.
There are two ways to sign in:
If you have not enrolled the device in Security Center SaaS, sign in directly to the
device using a web browser.
If you have enrolled the device in Security Center SaaS, sign in from the Genetec™
Configuration device overview panel.
Procedure
To sign in directly from a web browser:
Open a web browser, and enter https:// followed by the
controller hostname or IP address.
The Axis Powered by Genetec device is factory configured for DHCP. The default device
hostname consists of AXIS-, followed by the device's MAC address. The MAC
address is also the serial number. It can be found on a label at the bottom of the device
or on the Axis Communications: Owner Authentication Key document included in the
device packaging.
Example:https://AXIS-B8A44F6554C4
(First sign in only) Set the default administrator user password.
If it is your first sign in, or if you performed a factory reset, the default
administrator username is root without password. You set the
password the first time that you sign in. For more information, see Set a new password for the root account in the Axis
Powered by Genetec Help.
Important: After setting the password, wait 5
minutes for the Synergis™ Softwire app to initialize.
