AXIS 214 PTZ
Network - SOCKS
SOCKS is a networking proxy protocol. The AXIS 214 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 214 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 - QoS (Quality of service)
Quality of Service (QoS) provides the means to guarantee a certain level of a specified resource to selected
traffic on a network. Quality can be defined as e.g. a maintained level of bandwidth, low latency, no packet
losses, etc. The main benefits of a QoS-aware network can be summarized as:
• the ability to prioritize traffic and thus allow critical
flows to be served before flows with lesser
priority.
• greater reliability in the network, thanks to the control
of the amount of bandwidth an application
may use, and thus control over bandwidth races between applications.
The QoS in Axis network video products
marks the data packets for various types of network traffic
originating from the product. This makes it possible for network routers and switches to e.g. reserve a fixed
amount of bandwidth for these types of traffic. The following types of traffic are marked:
• live video
• live audio
• event/alarm traffic
• management network traffic.
QoS Settings
For each type of network traffic supported by your
Axis network video product, enter a DSCP
(Differentiated Services Codepoint) value. This value is used to mark the traffic’s IP header. When the
marked traffic reaches a network router or switch, the DSCP value in the IP header tells the router or switch
which type of treatment to apply to this type of traffic, for example, how much bandwidth to reserve for it.
Note that DSCP values can be entered in decimal or hexadecimal
form, but saved values are always shown
in decimal.

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 AXIS 214 PTZ to predefined addresses via SMTP (Simple
Mail Transfer Protocol).
Network - SNMP
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) allows the remote management of network devices. The
AXIS 214 PTZ can be configured to support SNMP. See the online help.
Network - UPnP™
The AXIS 214 PTZ includes support for UPnP™ in Windows Me and Windows XP. 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
Programs. 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 settings are for the IP addresses, port numbers, and Time-To-Live values to use for media streams in
the MPEG-4 format. Only certain IP addresses and port numbers should be used for these streams. For more
information, please see the online help.
