Axis extended Cron officially released The CRON script service facilitates periodic command execution. It allows you to program event/time triggered functions within your AXIS Camera Server. Implemented commands: - ftp - mail - online - offline - sleep - snapshot - reset Text editor Online editor 2. I/O The states of the two digital inputs and the test button can serve as trigging conditions for the CRON scrip 3. DNS Your Camera Server accepts IP addresses as well as domain names. The latter are automatically replaced with the corresponding IP address. This service is presently restricted to TCP environments. 4. Date and time synchronisation The Time Protocol(TCP port 37 RFC 868) and Daytime Protocol(TCP port 13 RFC 867) are implemented to allow date and time synchronisation with a date server 5. PPP The PPP implementation has been improved and the camera server is now able to initiate a connection to for instance an ISP Known problems: - DNS is only working over TCP - Since a domain name is replaced by the corresponding IP address immediately after being entered the DNS server has to be accessible then. This could cause problems if you intend to use a modem connection. - To guarantee faultless operation, please be sure to provide only valid IP addresses of existing servers or 0.0.0.0 otherwise. Recommendations: ================ Change to this version.
