AXIS 213 PTZ
Network Advanced TCP/IP Settings
DNS Configuration
DNS (Domain Name Service) provides the translation of host names to IP addresses on your network.
Obtain DNS server address via DHCP - automatically use the DNS server settings provided by the DHCP
server. Click the View button to see the current settings.
Use the following DNS server address - enter the desired DNS server by specifying the following:
• Domain name - enter the domain(s) to search for the host name used by the AXIS 213 PTZ. Multiple
domains can be separated by semicolons (;). The host name is always the first part of a Fully Qualified
Domain Name, e.g. myserver is the host name in the Fully Qualified Domain Name myserver.mycompany.com
where mycompany.com is the Domain name.
• Primary DNS server - enter the IP address of the primary DNS server.
• Secondary DNS server - will be used if the primary DNS server is unavailable.
NTP Configuration
The AXIS 213 PTZ 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 213 PTZ can be accessed using a host name, instead of an IP address. The host name is usually
the same as the assigned DNS Name. It is always the first part of a Fully Qualified Domain Name and is
always one word, with no period. For example, myserver is the host name in the Fully Qualified Domain
Name myserver.mycompany.com.
The enable dynamic DNS updates allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static host name, allowing
your computer to be more easily accessed from various locations on the Internet. Outside users can always
access your server using the associated DNS name regardless of the WAN IP. The DNS server used by the
user and/or the DNS server responsible for the domain in use must support RFC2136 and allow updates
from the camera.
The TTL (Time To Live) value determines how long (in seconds) the reply from the DNS server should be
remembered when checking that the domain name for the registered IP address is still valid.
Link-Local Address
Link-Local Address is enabled by default and assigns the AXIS 213 PTZ an additional IP address for the
UPnP protocol. The AXIS 213 PTZ can have both a Link-Local IP and a static/DHCP IP address at the same
time - these will not affect each other. See
Network - UPnP, on page 32.
HTTP
The default HTTP port number (port 80) can be changed to any port within the range 1024-65535. This is
useful for e.g. simple security port mapping.
NAT Traversal
Use NAT traversal when your AXIS 213 PTZ 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 network camera.
Enable/Disable - When enabled, the AXIS 213 PTZ will attempt to configure port mapping in a NAT router
on your network, using UPnP™.
Use manually selected NAT router - Select this option to manually select a NAT router. Enter the IP
address for the router in the field provided.
If a router is not manually specified, the AXIS 213 PTZ Network Camera 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.
