AXIS Q1602 Network Camera

System Options

Link-Local IPv4 Address

Link-Local Address is enabled by default and assigns the Axis product an additional IP address whichcanbeusedtoaccess

the p roduct from other hosts on the same segment on the local network. The product can have a Link-Local IP and a static

or DHCP-supplied IP ad dre ss at the sa me time.

This function can be disabled under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced.

HTTP

The HTTP port used by the Axis product can be changed under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced. In add ition to the

default setting, which is 80, any port in the range 1024–65535 can be used.

HTTPS

The HTTPS port used by the Axis product can be changed under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > A dvanced. In addition to

the default setting, which is 443, any port in the range 1024–65535 can be used.

To enable HTTPS, go to System Options > Security > HTTPS. For more inf o rma t ion, see

NAT traversal (port mapping) for IPv4

A network router allows devices on a private network (LAN) to share a single connection to the Inte rnet. This is done by forwarding

network trafﬁc from the private network to the “outside”, that is, the Internet. Security on the private ne tw ork (LAN) is incre ased

since m ost routers are pre-conﬁgured to stop attempts to a ccess the private network (LAN) from the public network (Internet).

Use NAT traversal when the Axis product is located on an intrane t (LAN ) and yo u wi sh to make it a vaila ble from the o ther

(WAN) s ide of a N AT router. With NAT traversal properly conﬁgured, all HTTP trafﬁc to an external HTTP port in the NA T router

isforwardedtotheproduct.

NAT traversal is conﬁgured under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced.

Note

• For NA T traversal to work, t his m us t be supported by the router. The router must also support UPnP

• The router has many different names: “NAT router”, “Network router”, “Internet Gateway”, ”Broadband router”, “Broadband

sharing device” or “Home ﬁrewall” but the essential purpose of the device is the sa

me.

Enable/Disable - W hen enabled, the Axis product attempts to conﬁgure po rt mapping in a NAT router on your network, using UPnP

Note that UP nP

must be enabled in the product (see System Options > N etwork > UPnP).

Use man ually selected NAT router - Select this option to manually s elect a NAT router and enter the IP address for the router in

the ﬁeld. If no router is speciﬁed, the product automatically searches for NAT routers o n yo u r n etwork. If more than one router is

found, the default router is selected .

Alternative HTTP port - Select this option to manually deﬁne an external HTTP port. Enter the port number in the ﬁeld. If no port is

entered h e re, a port number is automa tically selected when NAT travers al is ena ble d.

Note

• An alte rnative H TTP p ort ca n be used or be active even if N A T travers al is disabled. This is useful if your NAT router does

not support UPnP and you need to manually conﬁgure port forwarding in the NAT router.

• If you attempt to man

ually enter a port that is already in use, an othe r available port is automatically selecte d .

• Whe n the port is selected automatically it is displayed in this ﬁeld. To change this, enter a new port number and click Save .

FTP

The FTP server running in the Axis product enables upload of new ﬁrmware, user applica tions, etc. The FTP server can be disabled

under System O ptions > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced.
