Network Traffic
This can be used to change the network speed for your server. Normally, there is no need to
use anything other than
Auto-negotiate
, which will automatically select the correct media
type. However, if you are using a switch or similar device on your network and need to
specify the media type, this can be done by selecting the correct type from the drop-down
list.
SMTP (email) Network Settings
The AXIS 250S can be configured to send event and error email messages to predefined
addresses.
Primary mail server -
Enter the name or IP address of the server providing your mail facilities.
Note that to use a host name, a DNS server must be specified in the TCP/IP network
settings.
Secondary mail server -
Enter the name or IP address of a secondary mail server. This will be
used if the primary mail server is unavailable.
Send test email to -
test the setup by clicking the
Send
button.
RTP (Multicast) Settings
When switching to providing multicast content on the network, there will be no difference
in the video stream when compared to ordinary unicasting. The web page containing the
content from the AXIS 250S will function exactly as before, and viewers will not
experience any change.
To provide multicast broadcasts to multiple viewers, various settings may need to be made.
Most importantly, the box “
Enable multicast
” must be checked.
The other multicast settings concern the IP addresses and port numbers to use for the audio
and video streams. If the IP addresses for the two streams are the same, then the ports must
be different. Inversely, when using different IP addresses, then the ports can be identical.
Note that viewers do
not
need to know these IP addresses.
The IP addresses used for muticasting audio and video streams should always be selected
from within certain specific ranges. The AXIS 250S has been pre-configured with addresses
from these ranges, and these should not normally need to be changed. Please contact your
network administrator if you have special requirements.
