System Options
Host Name Conguration
The Axis product can be accessed using a host name instead of an IP address. The host name is usually the same as the assigned
DNS name. The host name is congured under Setup > Additional Controller Conguration> System Options > Network >
TCP/IP > Advanced.
Select Obtain host name via IPv4 DHCP to use host name provided by the DHCP server running on IPv4.
Select Use the host name to set the host name manually.
Select Enable dynamic DNS updates to dynamically update local DNS servers whenever the Axis product’s IP address changes.
For more information, see the online help
.
Link-Local IPv4 Address
Link-Local Address is enabled by default and assigns the Axis product an additional IP address which can be used to access
the product from other hosts on the same segment on the local network. The product can have a Link-Local IP and a static
or DHCP-supplied IP address at the same time.
This function can be disabled under Setup > Additional Controller Conguration > System Options > Network > TCP/IP
> Advanced.
HTTP
The HTTP port used by the Axis product can be changed under Setup > Additional Controller Conguration > System Options >
Network > TCP/IP > Advanced. In addition to the default setting, which is 80, any port in the range 1024–65535 can be used.
HTTPS
The HTTPS port used by the Axis product can be changed under Setup > Additional Controller Conguration > System Options >
Network > TCP/IP > Advanced. In addition to the default setting, which is 443, any port in the range 1024–65535 can be used.
To enable HTTPS, go to Setup > Additional Controller Conguration > System Options > Security > HTTPS. For more information,
see HTTPS on page 41.
NAT traversal (port mapping) for IPv4
A network router allows devices on a private network (LAN) to share a single connection to the Internet. This is done by forwarding
network trafc from the private network to the “outside”, that is, the Internet. Security on the private network (LAN) is increased
since most routers are pre-congured to stop attempts to access the private network (LAN) from the public network (Internet).
Use NAT traversal when the Axis product 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 congured, all HTTP trafc to an external HTTP port in the NAT router is forwarded to
the product.
NAT traversal is congured under Setup > Additional Controller Conguration > System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced.
Note
• For NAT traversal to work, this must be supported by the router. The router must also support UPnP
TM
.
• In this context, router refers to any network routing device such as a NAT router, Network router, Internet Gateway,
Broadband router, Broadband sharing device, or a software such as a rewall.
Enable/Disable - When enabled, the Axis product attempts to congure port mapping in a NAT router on your network, using
UPnP
TM
. Note that UPnP
TM
must be enabled in the product (see Setup > Additional Controller Conguration > 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 eld. If no router is specied, the product automatically searches for NAT routers on your network. If more than one router is
found, the default router is selected.
