When TCP is selected as the communication port, HTTP communication is adopted for video/audio communication. HTTP is the protocol used for reading a usual Web page. In an environment capable of reading Web page, you can watch or listen to the video/audio by selecting TCP port.

UDP (Unicast): When UDP (Unicast) is selected as the communication port, RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) is adopted for video/audio communication. As RTP is the protocol for running video/audio data, video/audio can be played smoother than when TCP (HTTP) is selected. If the fire-wall is installed between the camera and the computer, or depending on the network environment, the video/audio may not played properly when UDP (Unicast) is selected. In this case, select TCP.

UDP (Multicast): You can select this when the multicast streaming (page 27) is On. When UDP (Multicast) is selected as the transmission port, RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) and UDP multicast techniques are adopted for video/audio transmission.

Assigning the IP Address to the Camera Using ARP Commands

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 authentication by the camera administrator.

4 describes the case of “mib-2.system. sysContact.0”.

This field is used to describe the information on administrator of this camera. Nothing is set at the factory.

5 describes the case of “mib-2.system. sysName.0”.

This field is used to describe administration mode of this camera. Nothing is set at the factory.

6 describes the case 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.

GET, POST

http://ip_adr/snmpdconf/inquiry.cgi?inqjs=snmp (JavaScript parameter format)

Others

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 SNCDF40\”” ...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 case 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.

GET, POST

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 access (0.0.0.0 for any host).

Example: To allow reading/writing by any host in the

“private” community and having the ID number “2”.

community=2,w,private,0.0.0.0

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
