AXIS 241Q/S/QA/SA - System Options

HTTPS

The default HTTP port number (443) can be changed to any port within the range

1024-65535. This is useful for e.g. simple port mapping.

NAT traversal

Use NAT traversal when your video server is located on an intranet and you want to make

it available from the other side of a NAT router.

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.

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 that the

Video Server is allowed to use on your network. This is a useful function when connecting

your Video Server 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.

SOCKS

SOCKS is a networking proxy protocol. The Video Server 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 Video Server 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).

SMTP (email)

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 Video Server to predefined

addresses, via SMTP.

If the mail server requires SMTP authentication, check the box for Use authentication to

different methods of authentication are available. See the online help for more

information.
