HTTP is the protocol used for reading the usual
Web page.
In an environment capable of reading Web pages,
you can watch video by selecting the TCP port.
Unicast: When Unicast is selected as the
communication port, RTP (Real-time Transport
Protocol) is adopted for video communication.
Since RTP is the protocol for running video data,
the video playback is smoother than when TCP

the camera and the computer, or depending on the
network environment, video may not be played
back properly when Unicast is selected. In this
case, select TCP.

Supplicant
A supplicant is a device that connects to the
authentication server to join the network. This unit
serves as a supplicant in the 802.1X network. The
supplicant can enter the 802.1X network after
appropriate authentication by the authentication server.

An authenticator forwards certificate request data or
response data that the supplicant or authentication server
issues to the other party. Normally a hub or router serves
as an authenticator.
Use this menu to configure the wired port-based
authentication in compliance with the 802.1X standard.
The 802.1X menu consists of three tabs: Common,
Client certificate and CA certificate.

Notes
An authentication server has a database of connected
users and verifies if the supplicant is a valid user or not.
It can also be called RADIUS server.
• To use the 802.1X authentication function, you need
knowledge of the 802.1X authentication (WPA and
WPA2) and digital certificate. To establish an 802.1X
network, you need to configure the authenticator,
authentication server and other elements. For details
on these settings, refer to the manual of the

Wait until the execution of PING finishes, then
input the following code.
arp -d 192.168.0.100
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 a NETWORK indicator turned on?
If the indicator goes off, the network connection has a
problem. Connect the network correctly.

and the camera.
Using the SNMP
This unit supports SNMP (Simple Network
Management Protocol). You can read 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 any illegal
access using SNMP.
Using CGI commands, you can set the community name
and access limitation, 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
