AXIS Q1931–E Thermal Network CameraSystem OptionsEnable/Disable - When enabled, the Axis product attempts to configure port mapping in a NAT router on your network, using UPnPTM.Note that UPnPTM must be enabled in the product (see System Options > Network > UPnP).Use manually selected NAT router - Select this option to manually select a NAT router and enter the IP address for the router inthe field. If no router is specified, the product automatically searches for NAT routers on your network. If more than one router isfound, the default router is selected.Alternative HTTP port - Select this option to manually define an external HTTP port. Enter the port number in the field. If no port isentered here, a port number is automatically selected when NAT traversal is enabled.Note• An alternative HTTP port can be used or be active even if NAT traversal is disabled. This is useful if your NAT router does notsupport UPnP and you need to manually configure port forwarding in the NAT router.• If you attempt to manually enter a port that is already in use, another available port is automatically selected.• When the port is selected automatically it is displayed in this field. To change this, enter a new port number and click Save.FTPThe FTP server running in the Axis product enables upload of new firmware, user applications, etc. The FTP server can be disabledunder System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced.NoteThis FTP server has nothing to do with the product’s ability to transfer images via FTP to other locations and servers.RTSPThe RTSP server running in the Axis product allows a connecting client to start an H.264 stream. The RTSP port number can bechanged under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced. The default port is 554.NoteH.264 video streams will not be available if the RTSP server is disabled.SOCKSSOCKS is a networking proxy protocol. The Axis product can be configured to use a SOCKS server to reach networks on the otherside of a firewall or proxy server. This functionality is useful if the Axis product is located on a local network behind a firewall, andnotifications, uploads, alarms, etc need to be sent to a destination outside the local network (for example the Internet).SOCKS is configured under System Options > Network > SOCKS. For more information, see the online help .QoS (Quality of Service)QoS (Quality of Service) guarantees a certain level of a specified resource to selected traffic on a network. A QoS-aware networkprioritizes network traffic and provides a greater network reliability by controlling the amount of bandwidth an application may use.The QoS settings are configured under System Options > Network > QoS. Using DSCP (Differentiated Services Codepoint) values, theAxis product can mark the following types of traffic: live video, live audio, event/alarm traffic and management traffic.NoteLive audio DSCP will be equal to live video DSCP if H.264 over RTSP is used.SNMPThe Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) allows remote management of network devices. An SNMP community is thegroup of devices and management station running SNMP. Community names are used to identify groups.The Axis product can be configured to support SNMP on the System Options > Network > SNMP page.41
