This section explains how to assign an IP address to the
camera using the supplied setup program and configure
the network.
The setup program also allows the communication
bandwidth setting and date and time setting.
5
Start the IP Setup Program.
The program detects the SNC-CS3 cameras
connected to the local network and lists them on the
Network tab window.
Before starting, connect the camera to a computer or a
Others
local network, referring to “Assigning the IP Address to
the Camera” in the supplied Installation Manual.

Assigning the IP Address to the Camera Using ARP Commands
Rebooting the Camera
Click Reboot on the Network tab to reboot the camera.
It will take about 10 to 20 seconds to reboot.
This section explains how to assign an IP address to the
camera using ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)
commands without using the supplied setup program.
Note
Enter the ARP commands within 5 minutes after the
power of the camera is turned on.
1
Open the DOS window on the computer.
2
Enter the IP address and the MAC address of the
camera you want assign a new IP address to, using
the following ARP commands.
arp -s <Camera's IP address> <Camera's MAC address>
ping -t <Camera's IP address>
Example:
arp -s 192.168.0.100 08-00-46-21-00-00
ping -t 192.168.0.100
3
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...
Others
You will normally receive the reply after about 5
repetitions of "Request time out."
Note
If you do not receive the reply, check the following:
– Did you enter the ARP commands within 5 minutes
after the camera was 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?
Assign a new IP address to the camera.
– Do the computer and the camera have the same
network address?
If not, set the same network address on the computer
and the camera.

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 Level 4 authentication (the right to open the
setting pages).
4 describes the instance of “mib-2.system.
sysContact.0”. This field is used to describe the
information on the administrator of this camera.
Nothing is set at the factory.
5 describes the instance of “mib-2.system.
sysName.0”. This field is used to describe the
administration node of this camera. Nothing is set
at the factory.
6 describes the instance 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.
1. Inquiry Commands
You can check the SNMP Agent settings using the
following CGI commands.
<Method>
GET, POST
<Command>
“http://ip_adr/snmpdconf/inquiry.cgi?inqjs=snmp
Others
(JavaScript parameter format)
http://ip_adr/snmpdconf/inquiry.cgi?inq=snmp
(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.
var sysDescr=“\“SONY Network Camera SNCCS3\”” ...1
var sysObjectID=“1.3.6.1.4.1.122.8501” ...2
var sysLocation=“\“\”” ...3
var sysContact=“\“\”” ...4
var sysName=“\“\”” ...5
var snmpEnableAuthenTraps=“1” ...6
var community=“public,0.0.0.0,read,1” ...7
var community=“private,192.168.0.101,write,2” ...8
var trap=“public,192.168.0.101.1” ...9
1 describes the instance of “mib-2.system.
sysDescr.0”. You cannot change this parameter.
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).
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”.
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”.
2. Setting Commands
The unit supports the following setting commands of
SNMP.
<Method>
GET, POST
<Command>
http://ip_adr/snmpdconf/snmpdconf.cgi?
<parameter>=<value>&<parameter>=...&...
First, perform the settings of the following parameters.
2 describes the instance of “mib-2.system.
sysObjectID.0”. You cannot change this parameter.
3 describes the instance of “mib-2.system.
sysLocation.0”. This field is used to describe the
information on the location of this camera. Nothing
is set at the factory.
46
Using the SNMP
1) sysLocation=<string>
Set the instance of “mib-2.system.sysLocation.0”
in the <string> position. The maximum length of
<string> is 255 characters.
2) sysContact=<string>
Set the instance of “mib-2.system.sysContact.0” in
the <string> position. The maximum length of
<string> is 255 characters.
3) sysName=<string>
Set the instance of “mib-2.system.sysName.0” in
the <string> position. The maximum length of
<string> is 255 characters.
4) enaAuthTraps=<value>
Set the instance value of “mib-2.snmp.snmp
EnableAuthenTraps.0” in the <string> position.
Type “1” (enable) or “2” (disable) in the <value>
position.
5) community=<ID>,<rwAttr>,
<communityName>,<IpAddressString>
Set the community name and the reading/writing
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 the
access (0.0.0.0 for any host).
Example: To allow reading/writing any host in the
“private” community and having the ID number
“2”.
community=2,w,private,0.0.0.0
SNMP restart command
<Method>
GET, POST
<Command>
http://ip_adr/snmpdconf/snmpdconf.cgi?
snmpd=restart
Others
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, check the changed settings using an inquiry
command. If the changed settings are OK, restart the
SNMP using the following CGI command. Be careful
that by entering the command, the camera enters the
restart mode.
