necessary, you can set the connection speed by selecting it from the drop-down list. 10BaseT (Half/Full
Duplex), 100BaseTX (Half/Full Duplex).
Maximum bandwidth - Specify, in Mbit/s or Kbit/s, the maximum bandwidth that the AXIS 213 PTZ is

Network - SOCKS
SOCKS is a networking proxy protocol. The AXIS 213 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 213 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 - SMTP (email)
(Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) 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 213 PTZ to
predefined addresses, via SMTP.
Network - UPnP
The AXIS 213 PTZ includes support for UPnP in Windows Millennium and Windows XP. UPnP is 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 Pro-
grams. 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 RTP settings concern the IP addresses and port numbers to use for video and audio streams, and are
only valid when MPEG-4 is used as the video format.
Port Range
The RTP Port range defines the range of ports from which the video/audio ports are automatically selected.
This is useful if the camera is connected to a NAT router with manually configured port mapping.
Multicast
Set the IP addresses and port numbers, and the Time-To-Live value to use for the video and audio stream(s)
in MPEG-4 format.
Only IP addresses within certain ranges can be used for multicasting. The camera has been pre-configured
with an address from these ranges, and this does not normally need to be changed. Please contact your
network administrator if you have special requirements.
Notes: Viewers do not need to know this IP address or port number, but simply the main IP address or host name otherwise used for
accessing the camera.
•Setting the video port number to 0 means a random port number will be used.
For more information on these settings, please see the online help.
