FTP. Even in modem application, Network Camera will send out a connection log
whenever it dials out to an ISP or dialup server outside. If the administrator has setup
some applications in either event mode or sequential mode, Network Camera will send
out snapshots once conditions are met. To activate e-mail function, enter correct
settings of "SMTP (mail) server" and "Recipient email address". "Secondary SMTP
(mail) server" and "Secondary email address" are provided for backup connection
when the primary one fails. “Return email address” is whom the mail will return when
the SMTP server rejects upon any failure. Some ISP may reject the mail if the address is
invalid.
FTP settings
To send the log files described in the above paragraph via FTP, the SMTP server should be
erased. Administrators must enter correct "Primary FTP Server", "Primary FTP user
name" and "Primary FTP password". "Primary FTP remote folder" is the relative
sub-folder in the remote FTP server. If the port of the remote FTP server is changed other
than 21, set the real port to “Primary FTP server port”. If the local network is
protected by a firewall to prevent from initiating FTP connection from the remote FTP
server, you may be able to connect to the FTP server but unable to put any file due to
data channel connection failure. Check “Primary FTP passive mode” for passive
transfer solution. Another set of "Secondary" server settings is also provided for backup
connection.
In either e-mail or FTP, the primary server information should be entered first. If the
primary server is not set, the related FTP or email will be cancelled. Note that it may take
time to connect to the secondary server after the first one fails and it may affect some
applications when conditions happen too often.
