AXIS 211W - System Options

Enable/Disable - When enabled, the AXIS 211W will attempt to configure port mapping in a NAT router on your network, using UPnP™. Note that UPnP™ must be enabled in the camera (see System Options > Network > UPnP™).

Use manually selected NAT router - Select this option to manually select a NAT router and enter the IP address for the router in the field provided.

If a router is not manually specified, the AXIS 211W will automatically search for NAT routers on your network. If more than one router is found, the default router will be selected.

Alternative HTTP port - Select this option to manually define an external HTTP port. Enter the port number in the field provided. If no port is entered here a port number will automatically be selected when NAT traversal is enabled.

Notes: •An alternative HTTP port can be used/be active even if NAT traversal is disabled. This is useful if, e.g. your NAT router does not support UPnP and you need to manually configure port forwarding in the NAT router.

•If a manually selected port is already in use, another will automatically be selected.

•When the port is selected automatically it will be displayed in this field. This can be changed by entering a new port number and clicking Save.

FTP

The FTP server running in the AXIS 211W enables the upload of, e.g. new firmware, user applications, etc. 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 service and enter the RTSP port number to use. The default setting (554) can be changed to any port within the range 1024-65535.

Network Traffic

Connection Type - 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.

Wireless

Wireless settings in the AXIS 211W must be the same as the access point or ad-hoc device. When changing the settings they should always be made first in the camera and then in the wireless access point. This ensures that the camera is always accessible when making changes.

Status of Wireless Networks

This list is the result of a network scan. Access points with a disabled SSID Broadcast will not appear unless the camera is linked to it. The network the AXIS 211W is currently linked to is shown in blue. A network using unsupported security is shown in grey. The following information is provided:

•SSID - The name of a wireless network (or ad-hoc device). If the same name occurs several times this means that several access points for that network were found. The camera cannot be configured to only associate with one particular access point.

•Mode - Shows if the network type is Master (access point or router) or Ad-Hoc (another client).

•Security - Shows which type of security the network uses. See below for the security types supported by the camera.

•Channel - Shows the wireless channel currently in use.

•Signal strength - Shows the signal strength.

•Bit rate - Shows the bit rate in Mbit/s. This can only be shown for the access point currently in use. Note that the bit rate shown is the current rate, and that this value may vary over time.
