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 AXIS 212 PTZ/-V. Multiple domains can be separated by semicolons (;). The host name is always the first part of a Fully Qualified Domain Name, for example, myserver is the host name in the Fully Qualified Domain Name myserver.mycompany.com where mycompany.com is the Domain name. • Primary DNS server - enter the IP address of the primary DNS server. • Secondary DNS server - will be used if the primary DNS server is unavailable. Domain name - enter the domain(s) to search for the host name used by AXIS 212 PTZ/-V. Multiple domains can be separated by semicolons (;). The host name is always the first part of a Fully Qualified Domain Name, for example, myserver is the host name in the Fully Qualified Domain Name myserver.mycompany.com where mycompany.com is the Domain name.

Click the View button to see the current settings. Use the following NTP server address - to make manual settings, check this radio button and enter the host name or IP address of the NTP server. Host Name Configuration - AXIS 212 PTZ/-V can be accessed using a host name, instead of an IP address. The host name is usually the same as the assigned DNS Name. It is always the first part of a Fully Qualified Domain Name and is always one word, with no period. For example, myserver is the host name in the Fully Qualified Domain Name myserver.mycompany.com. Enabling dynamic DNS updates allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static host name, allowing your computer to be more easily accessed from various locations on the Internet. Outside users can always access your server using the associated DNS name regardless of the WAN IP. The DNS server used by the user and/or the DNS server responsible for the domain in use must support RFC2136 and allow updates from the camera. The TTL (Time To Live) value determines how long (in seconds) the reply from the DNS server should be remembered when checking that the domain name for the registered IP address is still valid. Link-Local IPv4 Address - Link-Local Address is enabled by default and assigns AXIS 212 PTZ/-V an additional IP address for the UPnP protocol. AXIS 212 PTZ/-V can have both a Link-Local IP and a static/DHCP IP address at the same time - these will not affect each other. See UPnP™, on page 37. HTTP - The default HTTP port number (80) can be changed to any port within the range 1024-65535. This is useful for example, simple security 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. 34
