Axis Communications 241S Manuel D’Utilisation

The default setting is Auto-negotiate which means that the correct speed is automatically 

selected. If necessary, you can set the connection speed by selecting it from the drop-down 

list.

Maximum bandwidth - Specify, in Mbit/s or kbit/s, the maximum bandwidth that the 

video server is allowed to use on your network. This is a useful function when connecting 

your video server to busy or heavily loaded networks. The default setting is Unlimited.

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.

SOCKS is a networking proxy protocol. The AXIS 241Q/241S 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 video server 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).

Enter the host names or addresses for your primary and secondary mail servers in the 

fields provided, to enable event and error email messages from the video server to 

predefined addresses, via SMTP. 

If the mail server requires SMTP authentication, check the box for Use authentication to 

log in to this server and enter the user name and password used for logging in. Several 

different methods of authentication are available. See the online help for more 

information. 

The video server includes support for UPnP

™

 in Windows ME and Windows XP. UPnP

™

 is 

enabled by default.

UPnP™ must be installed on your workstation. To do this, open the Control Panel from the 

Start Menu and 

select 

Add/Remove Programs. Select Add/Remove Windows Components and open the Networking Ser-

vices section. Click Details and then select UPnP™ as the service to add.

These settings are the IP address, port number, and Time-To-Live value to use for the video 

stream(s) in multicast MPEG-4 format. Only certain IP addresses and port numbers should 

be used for multicast streams. For more information, please see the online help.
