Description

 

 

 

Passphrase

 

If you want to generate keys for encryption, enter a word or group of

 

 

printable characters and click the Generate button. If WEP encryption is set

 

 

to 64 bit, each of the 4 key fields is populated with a key value. If WEP

 

 

encryption strength is set to 128 bit, only the first WEP key field is populated

 

 

with a key value.

 

 

 

Key 1

 

Enter the WEP key value, in hexadecimal format, that the IP camera uses to

Key 2

 

connect to the network.

Key 3

 

Each wireless IP camera that accesses the same access point in a network

Key 4

 

 

must have the same WEP key values.

 

 

 

 

 

Authentication

 

Choose the appropriate value, Open System or Shared Key. Refer to the

 

 

documentation for your wireless card to determine the method to use.

 

 

Note In Infrastructure mode, either setting typically works, because most

 

 

access points can use both methods.

 

 

 

WPA/WPA2 Personal Mode Options

Note These options appear if you choose WPA/WPA2 from the Security Mode drop-down list.

Encryption

Display only. Encryption algorithm that is used by the IP camera: TKIP and

 

AES.

 

 

Shared Key

Enter a value for the shared key. The value must contain from 8 to 63

 

alphanumeric characters. Data is encrypted using an algorithm that is

 

derived from this network key.

 

Each wireless IP camera that accesses the same access point in a network

 

must have the same shared key values.

CIVS-IPC-2500, 2500 Series specifications

The Cisco Systems 2500 Series routers are a series of versatile, feature-rich networking devices designed to address the needs of various enterprises and small to medium-sized businesses. Released in the early 1990s, the 2500 Series quickly became a backbone solution for organizations seeking reliable and efficient networking capabilities.

One of the defining characteristics of the Cisco 2500 Series is its modular architecture, which allows businesses to customize their routers based on specific networking needs. This modularity accommodates various interface cards, enabling the integration of different protocols and connection types, including serial, Ethernet, and WAN interfaces. As a result, organizations can tailor their routers to support diverse applications while ensuring optimal performance.

The Cisco 2500 Series supports several advanced routing protocols, including RIP, OSPF, EIGRP, and BGP. This support provides flexibility for network design and ensures that users can implement scalable solutions as their business grows. Moreover, the routers come equipped with robust security features, including access control lists (ACLs) and support for VPNs, making them suitable for organizations that require a secure network environment.

A notable feature of the Cisco 2500 Series is its support for Quality of Service (QoS). This functionality allows organizations to prioritize certain types of traffic, ensuring that critical applications, such as VoIP or video conferencing, receive the necessary bandwidth and minimal latency. This is particularly beneficial for businesses that rely on real-time communications and need to maintain high levels of service quality.

Additionally, the implementation of Cisco’s internetworking technologies, such as IP and frame relay, enhances the overall performance and versatility of the 2500 Series routers. These technologies enable efficient data transmission and improve network reliability, which is essential for organizations with complex networking requirements.

In summary, the Cisco Systems 2500 Series routers are known for their modular design, support for multiple routing protocols, robust security features, and advanced QoS capabilities. Their ability to adapt to different networking environments makes them an ideal choice for businesses looking to enhance their connectivity and streamline their operations. Even decades after their introduction, the 2500 Series remains a relevant player in the networking market, demonstrating Cisco's commitment to providing effective solutions for diverse industries.
