NTCIP

Specifies a set of rules and protocols for organizing, describing and exchanging transportation management information between transportation management applications and transportation equipment such that they interoperate with each other.

Select a port for NTCIP and the Address from the appropriate drop-down lists.

UPnP

You can activate the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) function. If the function is turned on, the unit responds to requests from the network and is automatically registered on the requesting computers as a new network device. For example, access to the unit can then be made using Windows Explorer without knowledge of the IP address of the unit.

NOTICE!

To use the UPnP function on a computer, both the Universal Plug and Play Device Host and SSDP Discovery Service must be active in Windows XP and Windows 7.

TCP Port

The device can receive data from an external TCP sender, for example an ATM or POS device, and store it as metadata. Select the port for TCP communication. Select Off to deactivate the TCP metadata function.

Sender IP address

Enter the IP address of the TCP metadata sender here.

Quality of Service

The AutoDome offers Quality of Service (QoS) configuration options to ensure fast network response to PTZ data and images. Quality of Service (QoS) is the set of techniques to manage network resources. QoS manages the delay, delay variation (jitter), bandwidth, and packet loss parameters to guarantee the ability of a network to deliver predictable results. QoS identifies the type of data in a data packet and divides the packets into traffic classes that can be prioritized for forwarding.

Consult with your network administrator for assistance configuring the Audio, Video, Control, and the Alarm Video settings.

7.51Multicast

In addition to a 1:1 connection between an encoder and a single receiver (unicast), the AutoDome 800 Series can enable multiple receivers to receive the video signal from an encoder simultaneously. The device either duplicates the data stream itself and then distributes it to multiple receivers (Multi-unicast) or it sends a single data stream to the network, where the data stream is simultaneously distributed to multiple receivers in a defined group (Multicast). You can enter a dedicated multicast address and port for each stream. You can switch between the streams by clicking the appropriate tabs.

NOTICE!

Multicast operation requires a multicast-enabled network that uses the UDP and the Internet Group Management IGMP protocols. Other group management protocols are not supported. The TCP protocol does not support multicast connections.

A special IP address (class D address) must be configured for multicast operation in a multicast-enabled network.

The network must support group IP addresses and the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP V2). The address range is from 225.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255.
