[. . . ] AXIS 216FD Fixed Dome Network Camera User's Manual About this Document This manual is intended for administrators and users of the AXIS 216FD Network Camera, and is applicable for software release 4. 40 and later. It includes instructions for using and managing the AXIS 216FD on your network. Previous experience of networking will be of use when using this product. Some knowledge of UNIX or Linux-based systems may also be beneficial, for developing shell scripts and applications. [. . . ] your NAT router does not support UPnP and you need to manually configure port forwarding in the NAT router. · If a manually selected port is already in use, another 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. Check the box to enable the server and enter the RTSP port number to use. Note that MPEG-4 video streams will not be available if this service is not enabled. 40 AXIS 216FD - System Options FTP The FTP server running in the AXIS 216FD enables the upload of e. g. Network Traffic Connection Type - 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 - To minimize the impact on other services running on your network, it is possible to configure the maximum network bandwidth the product will be allowed to use. Specify the maximum bandwidth (in Mbit/s or kbit/s) allowed, or set to Unlimited. QoS (Quality of service) Quality of Service (QoS) provides the means to guarantee a certain level of a specified resource to selected traffic on a network. a maintained level of bandwidth, low latency, no packet losses, etc. The main benefits of a QoS-aware network can be summarized as: · The ability to prioritize traffic and thus allow critical flows to be served before flows with lesser priority. · Greater reliability in the network, thanks to the control of the amount of bandwidth an application may use, and thus control over bandwidth races between applications. The QoS in Axis network video products marks the data packets for various types of network traffic originating from the product. This makes it possible for network routers and switches to e. g. reserve a fixed amount of bandwidth for these types of traffic. The AXIS 216FD marks the following types of traffic: · · · · video audio event/alarm management network traffic. QoS Settings For each type of network traffic supported by your Axis network video product, enter a DSCP (Differentiated Services Codepoint) value. This value is used to mark the traffic's IP header. When the marked traffic reaches a network router or switch, the DSCP value in the IP header tells the router or switch which type of treatment to apply to this type of traffic, for example, how much bandwidth to reserve for it. AXIS 216FD - System Options Note that DSCP values can be entered in decimal or hex form, but saved values are always shown in decimal. For more infomation on Quality of Service, please see the Axis support web at www. axis. com/techsup 41 SOCKS SOCKS is a networking proxy protocol. The AXIS 216FD 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 216FD 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. [. . . ] 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. [. . . ]
