Copyright © 2000 Axis CommunicationsAXIS 7000 Application Integration using HTTP / FTPIntroductionThis document describes how the AXIS 7000 can be integratedwith different kinds of applications using two of the mostcommon TCP/IP protocols, FTP and HTTP. There are twomain ways to perform the scanning process using the AXIS7000 together with an application:• Pull Type Scanning - initiated from an application andperformed using the HTTP protocol.• Push Type Scanning - initiated from the AXIS 7000control panel and performed by using the FTP protocolThe document also describes how you can use FTP to obtainand modify a list of available Profiles used for scanning. AProfile defines the resolution, color etc of the scanned image.HTTP and FTPHTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) and FTP (File TransferProtocol) are network protocols used for exchanging files (text,graphic images, sound, video and other files) on a TCP/IPbased network.
