Axis Communications 209 FD-R M12 - Manual (Page 28)

28 AXIS 209FD/FD-R/FD-R M12
HTTP
The default HTTP port number (80) can be changed to any port within the range 1024-65535. This is useful
for e.g. simple security port mapping.
HTTPS
The HTTPS port to use. The default setting is 443.
NAT traversal (port mapping) for IPv4
A broadband router allows devices on a private network (LAN) to share a single connection to the Internet.
This is done by forwarding network traffic from the private network to the “outside” i.e. the Internet.
Security on the private network (LAN) is increased since most broadband routers are pre-configured to stop
any attempts to access the private network (LAN) from the public network/Internet.
Use NAT traversal when your AXIS 209FD/FD-R/FD-R M12 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 camera.
Notes: • For NAT traversal to work, this must also be supported by the broadband router.
• The broadband router has many different names: “NAT router”, “Network router“, Internet Gateway”, “Broadband sharing device”
or “Home firewall” but the essential purpose of the device is the same.
Enable/Disable - When enabled, the AXIS 209FD/FD-R/FD-R M12 will attempt to configure port mapping
in a NAT router on your network, using UPnP™. Note that UPnP™ must be enabled in the camera (see
System Options > Network > UPnP).
Use manually selected NAT router - Select this option to manually select a NAT router and enter the IP
address for the router in the field provided.
If a router is not manually specified, the AXIS 209FD/FD-R/FD-R M12 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.
Notes: • An alternative HTTP port can be used/be active even if NAT traversal is disabled. This is useful if e.g. your NAT router does not
support UPnP and you need to manually configure port forwarding in the NAT router.
• If you attempt to manually enter a port that is already in use, another available port will automatically be selected.
• When the port is selected automatically it will be displayed in this field. This can be changed by entering a new port number and
clicking Save.
FTP
The FTP server running in the AXIS 209FD/FD-R/FD-R M12 enables the upload of e.g. new firmware, user
applications, etc. Check the box to enable the service.
