AXIS 225FD - System Options
30
HTTP
The default HTTP port number (80) can be changed to any port within the range 1024-65535. This is useful for
e.g. simple port mapping.
HTTPS
The default HTTPS port number (443) can be changed to any port within the range 1024-65535. HTTPS is used
to provide encrypted web browsing.
NAT Traversal
Use NAT traversal when your AXIS 225FD 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 210/210A/211/211A 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 225FD 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.
FTP
The FTP server running in the AXIS 225FD enables the upload of e.g. new firmware, user applications, etc.
Check the box to enable the service.
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.
Network Traffic
The default setting is Auto-negotiate, i.e. the correct speed is automatically selected. If necessary, the
connection speed can be set by selecting it from the drop-down list.
Maximum bandwidth - Specify, in Mbit/s or kbit/s, the maximum bandwidth that the camera is allowed to use
on the network. This is a useful function when connecting the camera 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.

Network - SOCKS
SOCKS is a network proxy protocol. The camera 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 camera 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).
