[. . . ] AXIS 214 PTZ Network Camera User's Manual About this Document This manual is intended for administrators and users of the AXIS 214 PTZ PTZ Network Camera, and is applicable for software release 4. 30. Previous experience of networking will be of use when installing and using this product. Some knowledge of UNIX or Linux-based systems may also be beneficial, for developing shell scripts and applications. Later versions of this document will be posted to the Axis Website, as required. which case the user may be required to take adequate measures. Japan - This is a class A product based on the standard of the Voluntary Control Council for Interference by Information Technology Equipment (VCCI). [. . . ] Host Name Configuration The AXIS 214 PTZ can be accessed using a host name, instead of an IP address. The host name is usually the same as the assigned DNS Name. It is always the first part of a Fully Qualified Domain Name and is always one word, with no period. For example, myserver is the host name in the Fully Qualified Domain Name myserver. mycompany. com. Enabling dynamic DNS updates allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static host name, allowing your computer to be more easily accessed from various locations on the Internet. Outside users can always access your server using the associated DNS name regardless of the WAN IP. The DNS server used by the user and/or the DNS server responsible for the domain in use must support RFC2136 and allow updates from the camera. 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. 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 UPnPTM. 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. [. . . ] VPN (Virtual Private Network) - This creates a secure "tunnel" between the points within the VPN. Only devices with the correct "key" will be able to work within the VPN. The VPN network can be within a company LAN (Local Area Network), but different sites can also be connected over the Internet in a secure way. One common use for VPN is for connecting a remote computer to the corporate network, via e. g. [. . . ]
