AXIS 210A/211A - System Options
Host Name Configuration
The AXIS 210A/211A can be accessed using a host name, instead of an IP address. The
host name is usually the same as the assigned DNS Name.
For more information, please see the online help
Link-Local Address
This is enabled by default and assigns the AXIS 210A/211A an additional IP address for
use with UPnP
™. The AXIS 210A/211A can have both a Link-Local IP and a
static/DHCP-supplied IP address at the same time - these will not affect each other.
HTTP
The default HTTP port number (80) can be changed to any port within the range
1024-65535. This is useful for e.g. simple security port mapping.
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
A broadband router allows devices on a private network (LAN) to share a single connection
to the Internet. This is done by forwarding network traffic from the private network to the
“outside” i.e. the Internet. Security on the private network (LAN) is increased since most
broadband routers are pre-configured to stop any attempts to access the private network
(LAN) from the public network/Internet.
Use NAT traversal when
your AXIS 210A/211A 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 camera.
