You can assign an IP address in two ways:
• Using the IP Setup Program stored in the supplied CDROM (see this page)
• Using the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)
commands (see page 91)
This section explains how to assign an IP address to the
camera using the supplied setup program and how to
configure the network.
Before starting, connect the camera, referring to
“Connecting the Camera to a Local Network” in the
supplied Installation Manual.
Consult the administrator of the network about the
assigned IP address.

playback is smoother than when TCP (HTTP) is
selected. If a firewall is installed between the
camera and the computer, or depending on the
network environment, the video/audio may not
play back properly when UDP (unicast) is
selected. In that case, select TCP.
UDP (multicast): This protocol is selectable when
Multicast streaming (page 45) is On. When
UDP (multicast) is selected as the
communications port, RTP (Real-time Transport
Protocol) and UDP multicast techniques are
adopted for video/audio communications. By
selecting it, the network communications load of
the camera can be reduced. If a router that does
not correspond to the multicast or a firewall is
installed between the camera and the computer,
the video/audio may not play back properly. In
that case, select TCP or UDP (unicast).

Note
To use the 802.1X authentication function, you need
knowledge of the 802.1X authentication and digital
certificate. To establish an 802.1X network, you need to
configure the authenticator, access point, authentication
server and other elements. For details on these settings,
refer to the manual of the corresponding equipment.
System configuration of 802.1X network
The following figure shows a general system
configuration of an 802.1X network.
Authenticator
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.
Authentication server
An authentication server has a database of connecting
users and verifies if the supplicant is a correct user or
not. It is also called RADIUS server.
CA (Certificate Authority)
A CA issues and manages certificates of the
authentication server (CA certificates) and user
certificates. The CA is essential for certificate-based
user authentication. Normally a CA is located inside an
authentication server.
Note
This camera supports only the EAP-TLS mode in which
the supplicant and the server authenticate each other
using the certificate. This mode requires a CA that issues
the certificate.

for any host).
Example: To allow reading by any host in the “private”
community and having the ID number “2”.
community=2,r,private,0.0.0.0
6) trap=<ID>,<communityName>,
<IpAddressString>
Set the attributes 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
public community and the ID number “1”.
trap=1,public,192.168.0.101
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).
