AXIS 243SA - System options 55

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, for example, community name as pass- word

•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 video server must be reset to the factory default settings.

UPnP™

The video server includes support for UPnP™. UPnP™ is enabled by default, and the video server then is automatically detected by operating systems and clients that support this protocol.

Note: UPnP™ must be installed on your workstation if running Windows XP. 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 Services section. Click Details and then select UPnP™ as the service to add.

RTP (Multicast)/MPEG-4

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

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.
