31 AXIS 206 - System OptionsNAT traversal (port mapping)
Use NAT traversal when your AXIS 206/206M/206W 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. Note that for NAT traversal to work, this must also be
supported by the network router.
Enable/Disable - When enabled, the AXIS 206/206M/206W will attempt to configure port
mapping in a NAT router on your network, using UPnP™. Click to enable or disable NAT
traversal.
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 206/206M/206W 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 forward-
ing 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 then be
changed by entering a new port number and clicking Save.
Network Traffic (AXIS 206 & AXIS 206M only)
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.
