Axis 210 [38/60] Network traffic

AXIS 210/211 - System Options

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 210/211 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 210/211

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 man

ually 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.

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.

FTP

The FTP server running in the AXIS 210/211 enables the upload of e.g. new firmware, user

applications, etc. Check the box to enable the service.

Network Traffic

The default 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 the AXIS

210/211 will be allowed to use on your 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.
