HTTPS

The default HTTP port number (443) can be changed to any port within the range 1024-65535. This is useful for e.g. simple port mapping.

NAT traversal

Use NAT traversal when your video server is located on an intranet and you want to make it available from the other side of a NAT router.

Network Traffic

The default setting is Auto-negotiatewhich means that the correct speed is automatically selected. If necessary, you can set the connection speed by selecting it from the drop-down list.

Maximum bandwidth - Specify, in Mbit/s or kbit/s, the maximum bandwidth the AXIS 240Q is allowed to use on your network. This is a useful function when connecting the video server to busy or heavily loaded networks. The default setting is Unlimited.

Network - SOCKS

SOCKS is a networking proxy protocol. The AXIS 240Q 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 video server 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)

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 video server to predefined addresses, via SMTP. If the mail server requires SMTP authentication, check the box for Use authentication to log in to this server and enter the user name and password used for logging in. Several different methods of authentication are available. See the online help for more information.
