Network - SOCKS

SOCKS is a networking proxy protocol. The AXIS 213 PTZ can be configured to use a SOCKS server to reach networks on the other side of a firewall/proxy server. This functionality is useful if the AXIS 213 PTZ is located on a local network behind a firewall, but notifications, uploads, alarms, etc., need to be sent to a destination outside the local network (e.g. to the Internet).

Network - SMTP (email)

(Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) Enter the host names or addresses for your primary and secondary mail servers in the fields provided to enable event and error email messages from the AXIS 213 PTZ to predefined addresses, via SMTP.

Network - UPnP

The AXIS 213 PTZ includes support for UPnP in Windows Millennium and Windows XP. UPnP is enabled by default.

Note: UPnP must be installed on your workstation. To do this, open the Control Panel from the Start Menu and select Add/Remove Pro- grams. Select Add/Remove Windows Components and open the Networking Services section. Click Details and then select UPnP as the service to add.

Network - RTP/MPEG-4

These RTP settings concern the IP addresses and port numbers to use for video and audio streams, and are only valid when MPEG-4 is used as the video format.

Port Range

The RTP Port range defines the range of ports from which the video/audio ports are automatically selected. This is useful if the camera is connected to a NAT router with manually configured port mapping.

Multicast

Set the IP addresses and port numbers, and the Time-To-Live value to use for the video and audio stream(s) in MPEG-4 format.

Only IP addresses within certain ranges can be used for multicasting. The camera has been pre-configured with an address from these ranges, and this does not normally need to be changed. Please contact your network administrator if you have special requirements.

Notes: •Viewers do not need to know this IP address or port number, but simply the main IP address or host name otherwise used for accessing the camera.

•Setting the video port number to 0 means a random port number will be used.
