Axis Communications AXIS 223M - Manual (Page 44)

44 AXIS 223M - System Options
Enable/Disable - When enabled, the AXIS 223M will attempt to configure port mapping in
a NAT router on your network, using UPnP™.
Use manually selected NAT router - Select this option to manually select a NAT router.
Enter the IP address for the router in the field provided.
If a router is not manually specified, the AXIS 223M automatically searches for NAT
routers on your network. If more than one router is found, the default router is selected.
Alternative HTTP port - Select this option to manually define an external HTTP port. Enter
the port number in the field provided. If no port is entered here a port number is
automatically selected when NAT traversal is enabled.
FTP
The FTP server running in the AXIS 223M enables the upload of new firmware, user
applications, and so on. Check the box to enable the service.
RTSP
The RTSP protocol allows a connecting client to start an MPEG-4 stream. Enter the RTSP
port number to use. The default setting is 554.
Network Traffic
Connection type - The default setting is Connection type Auto-negotiate, that is the
correct speed is automatically selected. If necessary, the connection speed can be set by
selecting it from the drop-down list.
Maximum bandwidth - Specify, in Mbit/s or kbit/s, the maximum bandwidth that the
camera is allowed to use on the network. This is a useful function when connecting the
camera to busy or heavily loaded networks. The default setting is Unlimited.
Note:
When using MPEG-4 as the video format, remember that setting a maximum bandwidth value here may
create problems for individual video streams if the maximum value is less than the sum of the bit rates set
for the video streams.
For more information, please see the online help .
SOCKS
SOCKS is a network proxy protocol. The camera can be configured to use a SOCKS server
to reach networks on the other side of a firewall/proxy server. This functionality is useful
if the camera is located on a local network behind a firewall, but notifications, uploads,
and alarms, need to be sent to a destination outside the local network (such as the
Internet).
