46AXIS 231D+/232D+ - System Options

Network - SNMP

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.

UPnP™

(Universal Plug and Play) The AXIS 231D+/232D+ includes support for UPnPin Windows ME and Windows XP. UPnPis 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. Refer to the Windows help files for more information.

RTP (Multicast)/ MPEG-4

These settings are for the IP addresses, port numbers, and Time-To-Live values to use for media streams in the MPEG-4 format.

Port Range - The RTP Port range defines the range of ports from which the video/audio ports are automatically selected. This feature is useful if the AXIS 231D+/232D+ is connected to a NAT router with manually configured port mapping.

Multicast - Only IP addresses within certain ranges can be used for multicasting. The AXIS 231D+/232D+ has been pre-configured with addresses from these ranges, and does not normally need to be reconfigured.

For more information, please see the online help.

Network - Bonjour

Your Axis network camera includes support for Bonjour. When enabled, the camera is automatically detected by operating systems and clients that support this protocol.

Ports & devices - I/O Ports

The pinout, interface support and the control and monitoring functions are described in the section on the Connection Module, on page 50.
