Axis Communications M1031W Wireless Axis M1011-W/AXIS M1031-W only, Status of Wireless Networks

AXIS M1011/M1011-W/M1031-W - System Options

Enable/Disable - when enabled, the network camera attempts 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 network camera automatically searches for NAT routers on your network. If more than one router is found, the default router is 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 is automatically 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 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 is automatically selected.

•When the port is selected automatically it is displayed in this field. To change this enter a new port number and click Save.

FTP - The FTP server running in the network cameras enables the upload of new firmware, and user applications. Check the box to enable the service.

RTSP - The RTSP protocol allows a connecting client to start an H.264/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 H.264/MPEG-4 video streams will not be available if this service is not enabled.

Wireless (AXIS M1011-W/AXIS M1031-W only)

Wireless settings in the AXIS M1011-W/AXIS M1031-W must be the same as the access point or ad-hoc device. When changing the settings, they should always be made first in the camera and then in the wireless access point. This ensures that the camera is always accessible when making changes.

Status of Wireless Networks

This list is the result of a network scan. Access points with a disabled SSID Broadcast will not appear unless the camera is linked to it. The network the AXIS M1011-W/AXIS M1031-W is currently linked to is shown in blue. A network using unsupported security is shown in grey. The following information is provided:

•SSID - The name of a wireless network (or ad-hoc device). If the same name occurs several times this means that several access points for that network were found. The camera cannot be configured to only associate with one particular access point.

•Mode - Shows if the network type is Master (access point or router) or Ad-Hoc (another client).

•Security - Shows which type of security the network uses. See below for the security types supported by the camera.

•Channel - Shows the wireless channel currently in use.

•Signal strength - Shows the signal strength.

•Bit rate - Shows the bit rate in Mbit/s. This can only be shown for the access point currently in use. Note that the bit rate shown is the current rate, and that this value may vary over time.

Wireless Settings

These settings control how the camera interacts with the wireless network. Apart from identifying the wireless network, it is also possible to enable wireless encryption.

SSID - This is the name of the wireless network the camera is configured for. The field accepts up to 32 alphanumeric characters. The name must be exactly the same as that used in the wireless access point or the connection will not be established.
