AXIS 209FD/FD-R/FD-R M12 27

Use NAT traversal when your AXIS 209FD/FD-R/FD-R M12 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.

LAN (intranet) WAN (internet)

Broadband

(NAT)ISP router

Notes: • For NAT traversal to work, this must also be supported by the broadband router.

•The broadband router has many different names: “NAT router”, “Network router“, Internet Gateway”, “Broadband sharing device” or “Home firewall” but the essential purpose of the device is the same.

Enable/Disable - When enabled, the AXIS 209FD/FD-R/FD-R M12 will attempt to configure port mapping in a NAT router on your network, using UPnP™. Note that UPnP™ must be enabled in the camera (see System Options > Network > UPnP).

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 209FD/FD-R/FD-R M12 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 forwarding in the NAT router.

•If you attempt to manually enter a port that is already in use, another available port will automatically be selected.

•When the port is selected automatically it will be displayed in this field. This can be changed by entering a new port number and clicking Save.

FTP

The FTP server running in the AXIS 209FD/FD-R/FD-R M12 enables the upload of e.g. new firmware, user applications, etc. Check the box to enable the service.

RTSP

The RTSP protocol allows a connecting client to start an MPEG-4 stream. Check the box to enable the server and enter the RTSP port number to use. The default setting is 554. Note that MPEG-4 video streams will not be available if this service is not enabled.

Network Traffic

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.

Maximum bandwidth - To minimize the impact on other services running on your network, it is possible to configure the maximum network bandwidth the product will be allowed to use. Specify the maximum bandwidth (in Mbit/s or kbit/s) allowed, or set to Unlimited.
