AXIS Device Manager Extend
About About
AXIS Device Manager Extend solution provides system administrators with an interface for discovering, configuring, and operating Axis devices on their organization's networks. The AXIS Device Manager Extend desktop app The desktop app is a software utility program that can be used as an on-demand, or always available user interface for managing the system. It can be run on a dedicated machine together with a locally installed site controller or separately from the site controller on a remotely connected laptop. The client presents the user with the overall status of the system readily available and management actions can be executed. The site controller The site controller component in ADM Extend is an always available, on-premise management service that is responsible for maintaining local devices, such as cameras. The ADM Extend site controller also acts as a link to the Axis remote management service, where the same API functionality supports remote administration of sites via the Axis service platform.

AXIS Device Manager Extend
Prerequisites Prerequisites
Compatible operating systems: � Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise, Server 2016 and 2019 (x64-based system). � System Administrator privilege required for installation and configuration changes.
System recommendation: � CPU: Intel Core i5 � RAM: 4 GB � Network: 100 Mbps
Internet connectivity Note
The AXIS Device Manager Extend application requires internet connectivity to be provisioned with certificates identifying it as belonging to the organization created and associated with the MyAxis account used in the installation. However, to benefit from certain features such as warranty information and multisite support you need an internet connection. In addition, the client and/or site controller only automatically updates in the online mode. Synchronized time and date Note Ensure all the system components are synchronized, otherwise certificate authentication between the site controller and the client or backend could fail. It is recommended that all host machines are synchronized to a common Network Time Server to avoid any potential issues. Open network ports: For secure connections from the ADM Extend desktop app to the site controller (SC), site controller discovery and Axis Remote Service.

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
How to configure firewall settings
In order for AXIS Device Manager Extend client and site controller to communicate with the Axis service the following IP addresses and/or domain names should be added to the allowlist by the organization's firewall:
� � 40.127.155.231 (EU) � 52.224.128.152 or 40.127.155.231 (US) � A public DNS IP The URL is a simple A DNS entry which resolves to IP address 52.224.128.152 or 40.127.155.231. These IP addresses host a single application gateway that forwards the requests to the appropriate (depending on the incoming request path) backend host. AXIS Device Manager Extend client and the site controller use the domain name for all requests. For this to work, the network will need to use a public DNS (or for example cache the domain name in a local DNS). Therefore, in addition to the application gateway IP address, some public DNS server IP should also be added to the allowlist. For example: Google's public DNS which is available at IPs: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.
Add IP addresses
Add subnets, individual IP addresses or an IP range either directly or import a comma separated text file (CSV). 1. Go to a site claimed by your organization. 2. Go to Settings > Device discovery options. 3. Click Add subnet or IP address 4. Select either Manual entry or Import from file.
Note The file should have: A header for the column of IP addresses. A single column. A maximum of 25,600 IP adresses.
