Protected camera

If the VOT-320 is password protected against unauthorized access, the Web browser displays a corresponding message and prompts you to enter the password when you attempt to access protected areas.

NOTICE!

The VOT-320 offers the option to limit the extent of access using various authorization levels (see Section 5.10 Advanced Mode: Password, page 34).

1.Enter the user name and associated password in the corresponding text fields.

2.Click OK. If the password is entered correctly, the Web browser displays the page that was called up.

Protected network

If a RADIUS server is employed in the network for managing access rights (802.1x authentication), the VOT-320 must be configured accordingly, otherwise no communication is possible.

To configure the camera, you must connect the VOT-320 directly to a computer using a network cable. This is because communication via the network is not enabled until the Identity and Password parameters have been set and successfully authenticated (see Section Authentication, page 74).

5.2 Configuration menu

The SETTINGS page provides access to the configuration menu, which contains all the camera's parameters arranged in groups. You can view the current settings by opening one of the configuration screens. You can change the settings by entering new values or by selecting a predefined value from a list field.

There are two options for configuring the camera or checking the current settings:

–Basic Mode

–Advanced Mode

In Basic Mode the most important parameters are arranged in seven groups. This allows you to change the basic settings with just a few entries and then put the device into operation. Advanced Mode is recommended for expert users or system support personnel. You can access all device parameters in this mode. Settings that affect the fundamental functionality of the device (such as firmware updates) can only be altered in Advanced Mode.

All parameter groups are described in this chapter in the order in which they are listed in the configuration menu, from the top of the screen to the bottom.

CAUTION!

The settings in the Advanced Mode should only be processed or modified by expert users or system support personnel.

All settings are backed up in the VOT-320 memory so they are not lost even if the power fails. The exception is the time settings, which are lost after 72 hours without power if no central time server is selected (see Section 5.4 Basic Mode: Date/Time, page 29).
