Axis M1103 User Manual page 31

If a router is not manually specified, the network camera automatically searches for NAT routers on your network. If more
than one router is found, 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
provided. If no port is entered here a port number is automatically selected when NAT traversal is enabled.
Notes:
• An alternative HTTP port can be used/be active even if NAT traversal is disabled. This is useful if your NAT router does
not support 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.
FTP
The FTP server running in the network camera enables the upload of new firmware, and user applications. Check the box to
enable the service.
RTSP
The RTSP protocol allows a connecting client to start an H.264 stream. Check the box to enable the server and enter the RTSP
port number to use. The default setting is 554. Note that H.264 video streams will not be available if this service is not
enabled.
SOCKS
SOCKS is a networking proxy protocol. The network 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 network camera is located on a local network behind a
firewall, and notifications, uploads, alarms, and such need to be sent to a destination outside the local network (such as the
Internet). See the online help
QoS (Quality of Service)
Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees a certain level of a specified resource to selected traffic on a network. Quality can be
defined as a maintained level of bandwidth, low latency, and no packet losses. The main benefits of a QoS-aware network can
be summarized as:
• The ability to prioritize traffic and thus allow critical flows to be served before flows with lesser priority.
• Greater reliability in the network, thanks to the control of the amount of bandwidth an application may use, and thus
control over bandwidth races between applications.
The QoS in Axis network video products marks the data packets for various types of network traffic originating from the
product. This makes it possible for network routers and switches to reserve a fixed amount of bandwidth for these types of
traffic. The network camera marks the following types of traffic:
• live video
• event/alarm
• management network traffic
QoS Settings -
For each type of network traffic supported by your network video product, enter a DSCP (Differentiated
Services Codepoint) value. This value is used to mark the traffic's IP header. When the marked traffic reaches a network router
or switch, the DSCP value in the IP header tells the router or switch the type of treatment to apply to this type of traffic, for
example, how much bandwidth to reserve for it. Note that DSCP values can be entered in decimal or hex form, but saved
values are always shown in decimal.
