Axis Communications 243Q Blade Link-Local IPv4 address, NAT traversal port mapping for IPv4

AXIS 243Q Blade - System options 44

Link-Local IPv4 address

Link-Local Address is enabled by default and assigns the network camera with an additional IP address for the UPnP protocol. The network camera can have both a Link-Local IP and a static/DHCP IP address at the same time - these will not affect each other. See UPnP™, on page 46.

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 the AXIS 243Q Blade 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 network camera.

FTP

The FTP server running in the AXIS 243Q Blade enables the upload of new firmware, user applications, and so on. Check this box option 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

Connection type - The default setting is Auto-negotiate, that is, the correct speed is automatically selected. If necessary, the connection speed can be set by selecting it from the drop-down list.

Maximum bandwidth - Specify, in Mbit/s or kbit/s, the maximum bandwidth that the camera is allowed to use on the network. This is a useful function when connecting the camera 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.
