Network - Advanced TCP/IP settings

DNS configuration
DNS (Domain Name Service) provides the translation of host names to IP addresses on your
network.
Obtain DNS server address via DHCP - automatically use the DNS server settings provided
by the DHCP server. Click the View button to see the current settings.
Use the following DNS server address - enter the desired DNS server by specifying the
following:
Domain name - enter the domain(s) to search for the host name used by the Axis video
server. Multiple domains can be separated by semicolons (;). The host name is always the
first part of a Fully Qualified Domain Name, e.g. myserver is the host name in the Fully
Qualified Domain Name myserver.mycompany.com where mycompany.com is the
Domain name.
DNS servers - enter the IP addresses of the primary and secondary DNS servers.
NTP
Obtain NTP server address via DHCP - use a DHCP server to automatically find an NTP
server to synchronize clock of the Axis video server with the other devices on the network
Use the following NTP server address - use the host name or IP address of a specific NTP
server for time synchronization.
Host name configuration
The Axis video server can be accessed using a host name, instead of an IP address. The host
name is usually the same as the assigned DNS Name.

Link-Local address
This is enabled by default and assigns the Axis video server an additional IP address for
use with UPnP™. The Axis video server can have both a Link-Local IP and a static or
DHCP-supplied IP address at the same time - these will not affect each other.
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.
