 User name and password is the account information for you to login the FTP.  Now you can set upload file length, picture upload interval, upload file channel, time and type.

 File length is upload file length. When setup is larger than the actual file length, system will

upload the whole file. When setup here is smaller than the actual file length, system only

uploads the set length and auto ignore the left section. When interval value is 0, system

uploads all corresponding files.

 At the same time, you can set two periods, three record files for different channels.

 Click the Test button, you can see the corresponding dialogue box to see the FTP connection is OK

5.4.5.13 SNMP

SNMP is an abbreviation of Simple Network Management Protocol. It provides the basic network management frame of the network management system. The SNMP widely used in many environments. It is used in many network device, software and system. You can set in the following interface. See Figure 5-40.

Figure 5-40

Please enable the SNMP function. Use the corresponding software tool (MIB Builder and MG-SOFT MIB Browser. You still need two MIB file: BASE-SNMP-MIB, ATM-SNMP-MIB) to connect to the device. You can get the device corresponding configuration information after successfully connection. Please follow the steps listed below to configure.  In Figure 5-40, check the box to enable the SNMP function. Input the IP address of the PC than is

running the software in the Trap address. You can use default setup for the rest items.

 Compile the above mentioned two MIB file via the software MIB Builder.  Run MG-SOFT MIB Browser to load the file from the previous step to the software.  Input the device IP you want to manage in the MG-SOFT MIB Browser. Please set the

corresponding version for your future reference.

 Open the tree list on the MG-SOFT MIB Browser; you can get the device configuration. Here you

can see the device has how many video channels, audio channels, application version and etc.

Note Port conflict occurs when SNMP port and Trap port are the same.

5.4.5.14 Network Priority

This interface is for you to set network priority. The default setup is PPPoE>WIFI>3G>LAN. See Figure 5-41. You can change if necessary. Default gateway: It is to display current default gateway. It is to display PPPoE if PPPoE dial succeeded. Priority: The value ranges from 0 to 3. 0 has the highest priority.

Name: It is to display network name. Use / to move current item up/down.

Note: PPPoE always has the highest priority. You can change the priority of the rest three items.

5.4.5.15 Auto register

This function allows the device to auto register to the proxy you specified. In this way, you can use the client-end to access the ATM DVR and etc via the proxy. Here the proxy has a switch function. In the network service, device supports the server address of IPv4 or domain. Please follow the steps listed below to use this function. Please set proxy server address, port, and sub-device name at the device-end. Please enable the auto register function, the device can auto register to the proxy server.

1) The setup interface is shown as in Figure 5-42.

Important

Do not input network default port such as TCP port number.

Figure 5-42

2) The proxy server software developed from the SDK. Please open the software and input the global setup. Please make sure the auto connection port here is the same as the port you set in the previous step.

3) Now you can add device. Please do not input default port number such as the TCP port in the mapping port number. The device ID here shall be the same with the ID you input in Figure 5-42. Click Add button to complete the setup.

4) Now you can boot up the proxy server. When you see the network status is Y, it means your registration is OK. You can view the proxy server when the device is online.

Important

The server IP address can also be domain. But you need to register a domain name before you run proxy device server.

5.4.6 Alarm

Please refer to chapter 4.12 Alarm.

5.4.7 Defence

It is to set defence zone and its correslonding alarm trigger operation. Please refer to chapter 4.11 for detailed parameter information.

 Defence type: There are three types: realtime zone (Figure 5-43), delay zone (Figure 5-44), 24-H

zone (Figure 4-50).  Realtime zone: On the arm status, once the detector connected to the zone is trigged, the

alarm controller can generate an alarm immediately. There is no delay time.  Delay zone: In Figure 5-44, click Delay time setup button, you can see an interface shown as in

Figure 4-51. Before you use this type, please set two parameters: Enter delay and Exit delay. a) In the in delay mode, there is no trigger operation after the alarm is trigged for M seconds (M

refers to the in delay value you set here). You can disarm during the M seconds. If you do not disarm, the defence zone is activated after M seconds. For example: after you enabled arm status and then set the in delay is 10s. System only enables link alarm after the alarm occurred for 10 seconds no matter the alarm has disappeared or still exists.

b) Out delay: After you enable arm status, the arm operation becomes valid after N seconds (N

refers to the exit delay value you set here). During the N seconds perod, the alarm link operation is null. For example, after you enable out delay time 15s, there is no alarm link event during the first 15 seconds until the 15-second countdown ends.

 24-H zone: The detector of current defence zone is armed for all the 24-H, no matter it is armed

or disarmed. But you can arm/disarm manually. There is no arm period setup and the arm

button on the front panel is null. You can only set on the menu interface.

 Voice: System triggers audio function when generating an alarm.  Output port: It is to set output port: speaker/MIC output port.
