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

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?

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”.

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.
