AXIS 216FD/FD-V - System Options 38

Domain name - enter the domain(s) to search for the host name used by the AXIS 216FD/FD-V. 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 addresses of the primary and secondary DNS servers.

NTP Configuration

Obtain NTP server address via DHCP - check this radio button to automatically look up and use the NTP server settings as provided by DHCP. Click the View button to see the current settings.

Use the following NTP server address - to make manual settings, check this radio button and enter the host name or IP address of the NTP server.

Host Name Configuration

The AXIS 216FD/FD-V can be accessed using a host name, instead of an IP address. The host name is usually the same as the assigned DNS Name.

For more information, please see the Security help.

Link-Local Address

This is enabled by default and assigns the AXIS 216FD/FD-V 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 security port mapping.

NAT traversal (port mapping)

A broadband router allows devices on a private network (LAN) to share a single connection to the Internet. This is done by forwarding network traffic from the private network to the “outside” i.e. the Internet. Security on the private network (LAN) is increased since most broadband routers are pre-configured to stop any attempts to access the private network (LAN) from the public network/Internet.
