AXIS 215 PTZ/AXIS 215 PTZ-E - System Options
32
Network - SNMP
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) allows remote management of network devices. Depending
on the level of security required, select the version of SNMP to use. The three levels of security are:
• SNMP V1 - includes no security.
• SNMP V2c - uses simple security. The community name can be specified
as a password for read or read/write
access to all supported SNMP objects. The community is the group of network devices using SNMP.
• SNMP V3 - provides encryption and secure
passwords. HTTPS must be enabled.
Network - UPnP
The AXIS 215 PTZ/AXIS 215 PTZ-E includes support for UPnP in Windows Millennium and Windows XP. UPnP
is enabled by default.
Note:
UPnP must be installed on your workstation. To do this, open the Control Panel from the Start Menu and select Add/Remove Programs.
Select Add/Remove Windows Components and open the Networking Services section. Click Details and then select UPnP.
Network - RTP/MPEG-4
Multicast must be enabled for these settings to take effect. The settings are only valid when MPEG-4 is used as
the video format. These settings are the port range, IP address, port number, and Time-To-Live value to use for
the video stream(s) in MPEG-4 format. Only certain IP addresses and port numbers should be used for multicast
streams.
Enter the port range, IP address and the port
number to use for the video and audio streams in the required
fields. (AXIS 215 PTZ-E does not support audio.)
Only IP addresses within certain ranges can be used for multicasting. The camera
has been pre-configured with
an address from these ranges, and this does not normally need to be changed. Please contact your network
administrator if you have special requirements.
Notes:
• Viewers do not need to know this IP address or port number, but simply the main IP address or host name otherwise used for accessing
the camera.
• Setting the video port number to 0 means a random port number will be used.
If IP packets (i.e. data) fail to be delivered to their destination within a reasonable length of time the number
entered in the Time to live field tells the network routers when to discard the packet. The value is usually
measured in ‘hops’, i.e. the number of network routers that can be passed before the packet arrives at its
destination or is dropped.
Network - Bonjour
The AXIS 215 PTZ/AXIS 215 PTZ-E includes support for Bonjour. When enabled, the camera is automatically
detected by operating systems and clients that support this.
Ports & Devices - I/O Ports (for AXIS 215 PTZ only)
Ports can be given descriptive names and their Normal state can be configured.
The 2 options for Normal state are Open circuit and Groun
ded circuit. The input is activated when the Current
state changes so that it no longer equals the Normal state.
As an example, if the Normal state for a pushbutton connected to an
input is Open circuit, this means that as
long as the button is not pushed (and the Current state remains as Open Circuit), the state will be inactive.
