AXIS 210/211 - System Options
DNS servers - enter the IP addresses of the primary and secondary DNS servers.
NTP Configuration
The AXIS 210/211 can obtain the correct time from an NTP server. The address for the NTP
server can either be obtained via the DHCP server, or it can be entered manually.
Host Name Configuration
The AXIS 210/211 can be accessed using a host name, instead of an IP address. The host
name is usually the same as the assigned DNS Name.

Link-Local Address
This is enabled by default and assigns the AXIS 210/211 an additional IP address for use
with UPnP
. The AXIS 210/211 can have both a Link-Local IP and a static/DHCP-supplied
IP address at the same time - these will not affect each other.
HTTP
The default HTTP port number (80) can be changed to any port within the range
1024-65535. This is useful for e.g. simple security port mapping.
NAT Traversal (port mapping)
A broadband router allows devices on a private network (LAN) to share a single connection
to the Internet. This is done by forwarding network traffic from the private network to the
“outside” i.e. the Internet. Security on the private network (LAN) is increased since most
broadband routers are pre-configured to stop any attempts to access the private network
(LAN) from the public network/Internet.
Use NAT traversal when your AXIS 210/211 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.
