Description

 

 

Enable Multicast

Check this check box to send video and audio data as a multicast stream.

 

 

When multicast is enabled, the IP camera sends video and audio to the

 

 

multicast addresses that you designate. Multicast enables multiple devices to

 

 

receive the video signal from the IP camera simultaneously.

 

 

 

Video Address

 

Appears if you enabled multicast. Enter the multicast IP address on which

 

 

the IP camera sends a video stream.

 

 

The default value is 224.2.0.1.

 

 

 

Video Port

 

Appears if you enabled multicast. Enter the port on which the IP camera

 

 

sends a multicast video stream.

 

 

Valid values are even numbers 1024 through 65534. The default value is

 

 

2240.

 

 

 

Audio Address

 

Appears if you enabled multicast. Enter the multicast IP address on which

 

 

the IP camera sends an audio stream.

 

 

The default value is 224.2.0.1.

 

 

 

Audio Port

 

Appears if you enabled multicast. Enter the port on which the IP camera

 

 

sends a multicast audio stream.

 

 

Valid values are even numbers 1024 through 65534. The default value is

 

 

2242.

 

 

 

Time to Live

 

Appears if you enabled multicast. Enter the number of hops, which specifies

 

 

the number of network devices that an audio-video stream can pass before

 

 

arriving at its destination or being dropped.

 

 

Valid values are 1 through 255. The default value is 16.

 

 

 

QoS

 

 

 

 

Enable QoS Mode

Check this check box and click the Audio, Video, or Both radio button to

 

 

enable Quality of Service (QoS) for audio streams, video streams, or both

 

 

streams.

 

 

Note QOS applies to Layer 3 only, and is applied to ASF and RTP video

 

 

streams. When QOS is applied to an ASF video stream, DSCP values

 

 

are not distinguished between audio and video streams because they

 

 

are applied to the same stream. When QOS is applied to an RTP

 

 

video stream, DSCP values are distinguished between audio and

 

 

video streams because they are applied to different streams.

 

 

Enable WMM (802.11e

Applies to wireless IP camera only. Check this check box to enable wireless

QoS)

 

multimedia extensions for 802.11e QoS, which provides basic QoS features

 

 

for the wireless IP camera.

 

 

 

DSCP

 

If you enable QoS, enter the Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) to

 

 

be used to process QoS packets.

 

 

The default value is 12.

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.
