AXIS 214 PTZ - System Options

HTTP
The default HTTP port number (port 80) can be changed to any port within the range

1024-65535. This is useful for e.g. simple security port mapping.

HTTPS
The default HTTPS port number (443) can be changed to any port within the range

1024-65535. HTTPS is used to provide encrypted web browsing.

NAT Traversal (port mapping)
Use NAT traversal when your AXIS 214 PTZ is located on an intranet (LAN) and you wish

to make it available from the other (WAN) side of a NAT router. With NAT traversal

properly configured, all HTTP traffic to an external HTTP port in the NAT router will be

forwarded to the network camera.

Enable/Disable - When enabled, the AXIS 214 PTZ 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 214 PTZ Network Camera will automatically search for NAT routers on

your network. If more than one router is found, the default router will be 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 will

automatically be selected when NAT traversal is enabled.

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
The default connection setting is Auto-negotiate, which means that the correct speed is

automatically selected. If necessary, you can set the connection speed by selecting it from

the drop-down list. 10BaseT (Half/Full Duplex), 100BaseTX (Half/Full Duplex).

Maximum bandwidth - Specify, in Mbit/s or Kbit/s, the maximum bandwidth that the

AXIS 214 PTZ is allowed to use on your network. This is a useful function when

connecting the AXIS 214 PTZ to busy or heavily loaded networks. The default setting is

Unlimited. For more information, please refer to the online help.

Network - SOCKS

SOCKS is a networking proxy protocol. The AXIS 214 PTZ 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 AXIS 214 PTZ is located on a local network behind a firewall,

but notifications, uploads, alarms, etc., need to be sent to a destination outside the local

network (e.g. to the Internet).
