Axis Communications 216FD Manuel D’Utilisation

RTSP
The RTSP protocol allows a connecting client to start an MPEG-4 stream. Enter the RTSP 

port number to use. The default setting is 554.

Network Traffic
Connection Type - 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.

SOCKS is a networking proxy protocol. The AXIS 216FD 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 AXIS 216FD 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 the sending of notifications and image/video email messages 

from the camera to predefined addresses via SMTP.

If your mail server requires authentication, check the box for Use authentication to log in 

to this server and enter the necessary information.

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) allows remote management of network 

devices. Depending on the level of security required, select the version of SNMP to use. The 

three levels of security are:

• SNMP V1 - includes no security.
• SNMP V2c - uses very simple security. The community name can be specified as a pass-

word for read or read/write access to all supported SNMP objects. The community is the 

the group of network devices using SNMP.

• SNMP V3 - provides encryption and secure passwords. HTTPS must be enabled.

The camera includes support for UPnP

™

, which is enabled by default. If also enabled on 

your computer, the camera will automatically be detected and a new icon will be added to 

“My Network Places.” 

UPnP must also be enabled on your Windows XP or ME computer. To do this, open the Control Panel from 
the 

Start Menu and select Add/Remove Programs. Select Add/Remove Windows Components and open
