[. . . ] The TTL (Time To Live) value determines how long (in seconds) the reply from the DNS server should be remembered when checking that the domain name for the registered IP address is still valid. Link-Local Address Link-Local Address is enabled by default and assigns the AXIS 214 PTZ with an additional IP address for the UPnP protocol. The AXIS 214 PTZ can have both a Link-Local IP and a static/DHCP IP address at the same time - these will not affect each other. See Network UPnPTM, on page 46. AXIS 214 PTZ - System Options HTTP The default HTTP port number (port 80) can be changed to any port within the range 1024-65535. HTTPS The default HTTPS port number (443) can be changed to any port within the range 1024-65535. 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 UPnPTM. Use manually selected NAT router - Select this option to manually select a NAT router. 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. 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. 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. 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. For more information, please refer to the online help. 45 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). 46 AXIS 214 PTZ - System Options Network - SMTP (email) (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) Enter the host names or addresses for your primary and secondary mail servers in the fields provided to enable event and error email messages from the AXIS 214 PTZ to predefined addresses, via SMTP.
