AXIS 214 PTZ - System Options
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 214
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 214 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 214 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.
Enabling 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 214 PTZ with an additional
IP address for the UPnP protocol. The AXIS 214 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 46.
