• Using the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)  
commands (see page 61)  
This section explains how to assign an IP address to the  
camera using the supplied setup program and how to  
configure the network.  
Before starting, connect the camera to a local network,  
referring to “Connecting this Unit to a Local Network”  
in the supplied Installation Manual.  
Consult the administrator of the network about the  
assigned IP address.

Click one of the buttons TCP, UDP (Unicast) or  
UDP (Multicast).  
TCP: Usually select this.  
When TCP is selected as the communication port,  
HTTP communication is adopted for video/audio  
communication.  
HTTP is the protocol used for reading a usual Web  
page.  
In an environment capable of reading Web page,  
you can watch or listen to the video/audio by  
selecting TCP port.  
UDP (Unicast): When UDP (Unicast) is selected  
as the communication port, RTP (Real-time  
Transport Protocol) is adopted for video/audio  
communication. As RTP is the protocol for running  
video/audio data, video/audio can be played  
smoother than when TCP (HTTP) is selected. If the  
fire-wall is installed between the camera and the  
computer, or depending on the network  
environment, the video/audio may not played  
properly when UDP (Unicast) is selected. In this  
case, select TCP.  
UDP (Multicast): You can select this when the  
multicast streaming (page 28) is On. When UDP  
(Multicast) is selected as the transmission port,  
RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) and UDP  
multicast techniques are adopted for video/audio  
transmission. By selecting it, the network  
transmission load of the camera can be reduced. If

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  
Enter the ARP commands within 5 minutes of the power  
of the camera being turned on.

2
Open the DOS window on the computer.  
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>  
The following page will appear after a while.  
Example:  
arp -s 192.168.0.100 08-00-46-21-00-00  
ping -t 192.168.0.100

When the following line is displayed on the DOS  
window, hold down Ctrl and press C.  
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 of  
the camera being 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?  
After displaying this page, the camera will be  
adjusted and rebooted automatically in two  
minutes.  
Assign a new IP address to the camera.  
– Do the computer and the camera have the same  
network address?  
13 Click Finish to exit the program.  
If not, set the same network address on the computer  
and the camera.

4 describesthecaseofmib-2.system.sysContact.0”.  
This field is used to describe the information on  
administrator of this camera. Nothing is set at the  
factory.  
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.  
5 describes the case of “mib-2.system. sysName.0”.  
This field is used to describe administration mode  
of this camera. Nothing is set at the factory.  
6 describes the case of “mib-2.snmpEnable  
AuthenTraps.0”. This example shows when “1”  
(enable) is set. With this setting, a trap occurs when  
there is an Authentication failure. When “2”  
(disable) is set, no Authentication failure trap  
occurs.  
7 describes the community name and the reading/  
writing attributes. This example shows the  
identification number “ID=1”, the community  
name public, and enables read from any IP address  
(0.0.0.0).  
1. Inquiry Commands  
You can check the SNMP Agent settings using the  
following CGI commands.  
<Method>  
GET, POST  
<Command>  
8 describes the community name and the reading/  
writing attributes, similarly to 7. This example  
shows the identification number ID=2, the  
community name “private”, and enables “read/  
write” by the SNMP request packet from the host  
“192.168.0.101”.  
(JavaScript parameter format)  
(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.  
9 describes the host name to send a trap. This  
example shows the identification number “ID=1”,  
the community name “public”, and enables sending  
of traps to the host having the IP address  
“192.168.0.101”.

2. Setting Commands  
The unit supports the following setting commands of  
SNMP.  
<Method>

var trap=“public,192.168.0.101.1” ...9  
<parameter>=<value>&<parameter>=...&...  
1 describes the case of “mib-2.system. sysDescr.0”.  
First, perform the settings of the following parameters.  
You cannot change this parameter.  
1) sysLocation=<string>  
2 describes the case of “mib-2.system.  
Set the case of “mib-2.system.sysLocation.0” in the  
<string> position. The maximum length of  
<string> is 255 characters.  
sysObjectID.0”. You cannot change this parameter.  
3 describes 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.  
2) sysContact=<string>  
Set the case of “mib-2.system.sysContact.0” in the  
<string> position. The maximum length of

3) sysName=<string>  
Set the case of “mib-2.system.sysName.0” in the  
<string> position. The maximum length of  
<string> is 255 characters.  
4) enaAuthTraps=<value>  
Set the case value of “mib-2.snmp.snmp  
EnableAuthenTraps.0”. Type “1” (enable) or “2”  
(disable) in the <value> position.  
5) community=<ID>,<rwAttr>,  
<communityName>,<IpAddressString>  
Set the community name and the reading/writing  
attributes. <ID> describes the setting identification  
number (1 to 8), <rwAttr> describes a character  
representing the reading/writing attribute (“r”, “R”,  
“w or “W”), <communityName> describes the  
community name to be set, and <IpAddressString>  
describes the IP address of the host you allow  
access (0.0.0.0 for any host).  
Example: To allow reading/writing by any host in the  
“private” community and having the ID number “2”.  
community=2,w,private,0.0.0.0  
6) trap=<ID>,<communityName>,  
<IpAddressString>  
Set the host you want to send traps to. <ID>  
describes the setting identification number (1 to 8),  
<communityName> describes the community  
name to send traps to, and <IpAddressString>  
describes the IP address of the host to send traps to.  
Example: To specify the destination of traps as the  
private community and the ID number “1”.  
rap=1,public,196.168.0.101  
7) delcommunity=<ID>  
This parameter is used to delete the previous  
community setting. <ID> describes the community  
setting identification number (1 to 8).  
8) deltrap=<ID>  
This parameter is used to delete the previous setting  
of the host to send traps to. <ID> describes the trap  
setting identification number (1 to 8).  
When you have finished changing the SNMP setting  
information using the above parameters 1) to 8), check  
the changed settings using an inquiry commands. If the  
changed settings are OK, restart the SNMP using the  
following CGI command.  
SNMP restart command  
<Method>
