AXIS 242S IV - System options
HTTPS
The default HTTPS port number (443) can be changed to any port within the range
1024-65535. This is useful for e.g. simple port mapping.
NAT traversal
Use NAT traversal when your video server is located on an intranet and you want to make
it available from the other side of a NAT router.
RTSP
The RTSP protocol allows a connecting client to start an MPEG-4 stream. Enter the RTSP
port number to use. The default setting is 554, and the allowed port range is 1024-65535.
Network traffic
The default setting is
Auto-negotiate
which means that the correct speed is automatically
selected. If necessary, you can set the connection speed by selecting it from the drop-down
list.
Maximum bandwidth
- Specify, in Mbit/s or kbit/s, the maximum bandwidth that the
video server is allowed to use on your network. This is a useful function when connecting
your video server to busy or heavily loaded networks. The default setting is
Unlimited
.
Note:
When using MPEG-4 as the video format, remember that setting a maximum bandwidth value here may
create problems for individual video streams if the maximum value is less than the sum of the bit rates set
for the video streams.

SOCKS
SOCKS is a networking proxy protocol. The AXIS 242S IV 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 video server 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).
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 video server to
predefined addresses, via SMTP.
If the mail server requires SMTP authentication, check the box for
Use authentication to
log in to this server
and enter the user name and password used for logging in. Several
different methods of authentication are available. See the online help for more
information.
