SNMP

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) allows the remote management of network devices. Select the version of SNMP to use, depending on the level of security required. Select the version of SNMP to use, by checking the appropriate box. The three levels of security are:

•SNMP V1 - includes no security

•SNMP V2c - uses very simple security, e.g. community name as password

•SNMP V3 - provides encryption and secure passwords. Use with HTTPS.

If using V1 and V2c, enter the community name for read-only access to all supported SNMP objects (except the root password and other objects that require write access). Default value = public. You can also specify the community name for read/write access to all supported SNMP objects (except read-only objects). Default value = pass.

If using HTTPS enter the password if it has not already been set. To set the password again, the AXIS 240Q must be reset to the factory default settings.

Network - UPnP™

The video server includes support for UPnP™ in Windows ME and Windows XP. UPnP™ is enabled by default.

Note: 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.
