provided by the DHCP server. Click the View button to see the current settings.

Host Name Configuration - The AXIS 213 can be accessed using a host name,
instead of an IP address. The host name is usually the same as the assigned DNS
Name. It is always the first part of a Fully Qualified Domain Name and is always one
word, with no period. For example, myserver is the host name in the Fully Qualified
Domain Name myserver.mycompany.com.

Network Camera is changed automatically, e.g. by DHCP, you can choose to be
notified. Click Settings... and enter the required information.
AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service - If the AXIS 213 PTZ Network Camera has
been registered with the Axis Internet Dynamic DNS service and the IP address for
the product changes, the service is updated to reflect the change. Check the box to
enable/disable automatic updates.
Auto-Configure Link-Local Address is enabled by default and assigns the AXIS 213 with an addi-
tional IP address for the UPnP protocol. The AXIS 213 can have both a Link-Local IP and a static/DHCP
IP address at the same time - these will not affect each other. See Network - UPnP, on page 39.

name is always the first part of a Fully Qualified Domain Name, e.g. myser-
ver is the host name in the Fully Qualified Domain Name myserver.mycom-
pany.com where mycompany.com is the Domain name.
•Primary DNS server - enter the IP address of the primary DNS server.
•Secondary DNS server - will be used if the primary DNS server is unavail-
able.
