Network - Advanced TCP/IP Settings

DNS Configuration

DNS (Domain Name System) provides the translation of host names to IP addresses on your network.

Obtain DNS server address via DHCP - automatically use the DNS server settings provided by the DHCP server. Click the View button to see the current settings.

Use the following DNS server address - enter the desired DNS server by specifying the following:

Domain name - enter the domain(s) to search for the host name used by the AXIS 206/206M/206W. Multiple domains can be separated by semicolons (;). The host name is always the first part of a Fully Qualified Domain Name, e.g. myserver is the host name in the Fully Qualified Domain Name myserver.mycompany.com where mycompany.com is the Domain name.

DNS servers - enter the IP address(es) of the primary and secondary DNS server(s).

Host Name Configuration

The AXIS 206/206M/206W can be accessed using a host name, instead of an IP address. The host name is usually the same as the assigned DNS Name.

Link-Local Address

This is enabled by default and assigns the AXIS 206/206M/206W an additional IP address for use with UPnP. The camera 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 port mapping.
