Assigning the IP Address to the Camera Using ARP Commands

This section explains how to assign an IP address to the camera using ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) commands without using the supplied setup program.

Note

When you turn on the camera, enter the ARP commands within 5 minutes.

1 Open the DOS window on the computer.

2 Enter the IP address and the MAC address of the camera to assign a new IP address, using the following ARP commands.

arp -s <Camera's IP address> <Camera's MAC address> ping -t <Camera's IP address>

Example:

arp -s 192.168.0.100 08-00-46-21-00-00 ping -t 192.168.0.100

3 When the following line is displayed on the DOS window, hold down Ctrl and press C.

The display stops.

Reply from 192.168.0.100:bytes=32 time...

You will normally receive a reply after about 5 repetitions of “Request time out.”

Note

If you do not receive a reply, check the following:

–Did you enter the ARP commands within 5 minutes after it was turned on?

If not, turn off the camera and restart the operation.

–Is the NETWORK indicator on the camera flashing? If the indicator goes off, the network connection has a problem. Connect the network correctly.

–Did you enter the IP address previously used for another device?

Assign a new IP address to the camera.

–Do the computer and the camera have the same network address?

If not, set the same network address on the computer and the camera.

Using the SNMP

This unit supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). You can read MIB-2 objects and write some MIB-2 objects using software such as SNMP manager software. This unit also supports the coldStart trap which occurs when the power is turned on or the unit restarts, and the Authentication failure trap which informs of an illegal access using SNMP.

Using CGI commands, you can set community name and access limitation, reading/writing right, host to send traps, and some MIB-2 objects. To allow these settings, you need authentication by the camera administrator.

1. Inquiry Commands

You can check the SNMP Agent settings using the following CGI commands.

<Method>

GET, POST <Command>

http://ip_adr/snmpdconf/inquiry.cgi?inqjs=snmp (JavaScript parameter format) http://ip_adr/snmpdconf/inquiry.cgi?inq=snmp (standard format)

With the above inquiry, you can obtain the following setting information. The following explains the setting information using the inqjs=snmp (JavaScript parameter) format.

var sysDescr=“SONY Network Camera SNC-CS50”

 

...1

var sysObjectID=“1.3.6.1.4.1.122.8501”

...2

var sysLocation=“”

...3

var sysContact=“”

...4

var sysName=“”

var community=“private,192.168.0.101,write,2”

...8

var trap=“public,192.168.0.101.1”

1describes the case of “mib-2.system. sysDescr.0”. You cannot change this parameter.

2describes the case of “mib-2.system. sysObjectID.0”. You cannot change this parameter.

3describes the case of “mib-2.system. sysLocation.0”. This field is used to describe information on the location of this camera. Nothing is set at the factory.
