AXIS 241QA/AXIS 241SA - System options 51

Link-Local address IPv4 Address

This is enabled by default and assigns the AXIS 241QA/AXIS 241SA an additional IP address for use with UPnP™. The AXIS 241QA/AXIS 241SA can have both a Link-Local IP and a static or 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 simple port mapping.

HTTPS

The default HTTPS port number (443) can be changed to any port within the range 1024-65535. This is useful for simple port mapping.

NAT traversal (port mapping) for IPv4

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.

FTP

The FTP server running in the AXIS 241QA/AXIS 241SA enables the upload of new firmware, user applications and so on. Check the box to enable the service.

RTSP

The RTSP protocol allows a connecting client to start an MPEG-4 stream. Check the box to enable the RTSP server and enter the RTSP port number to use. The default setting is 554, and the allowed port range is 1024-65535. Note that MPEG-4 streams will not be available if this is not enabled.

Network Traffic

The default setting is Auto-negotiatewhich 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.
