The 802.1X menu consists of three tabs: Common, Client certificate and CA certificate.
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, 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.

What is unattended object
detection ?
The unattended object detection function of this unit
compares the reference background image with the
current image to detect an unattended object. The unit
can perform “Abandoned object detection” of an object
that did not exist and appears now as an unattended
object. The unit can also perform “Removed object
detection” of an object that existed before and now has
disappeared as an unattended object.
Abandoned object detection
The camera first stores in memory the background
image for reference. If an object that did not exist before
appears on the background and stops, the camera detects
the object as an unattended object. If the unattended
object stays in camera image for more than the specified
time, it is marked with a green frame and an alarm linked
to unattended object detection is output. you can activate
alarm sending of the FTP client function, alarm
recording of the image memory function and playback
of an audio file in synchronization with the alarm.

Removed object detection
The camera first stores in memory the background
image for reference. If an object that existed before
moves and disappears, the camera detects the location
where the object existed as an unattended object. If there
are no changes in the unattended object (location) for
more than the specified time, that location is marked
with a green frame and an alarm linked to unattended
object detection is output. You can activate alarm
sending of the FTP client function, alarm recording of
the image memory function and playback of an audio
file in synchronization with the alarm.

Wait until the execution of PING finishes, then
input the following code.
arp -d 192.168.0.100
Note
If you do not receive a reply, check the following:
– Did you enter the ARP commands within 5 minutes
after it 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
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, host to send traps, and some MIB2 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 node 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.
<Method>
GET, POST
<Command>
(JavaScript parameter format)
Others
(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=“SNC-DF85”, “SNC-DF80” or “SNCDF50”...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,read,2”...8
var trap=“public,192.168.0.101.1”...9
7 describes the community 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 attributes, similarly to 7.
This example shows the identification number
ID=2, the community name “private”, and enables
“read” by the SNMP request packet from the host
“192.168.0.101”.
9 describes the attributes 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>
1 describes the case of “mib-2.system. sysDescr.0”.
You cannot change this parameter.
2 describes the case of “mib-2.system.
sysObjectID.0”. You cannot change this parameter.
3 describes the case of “mib-2.system.
sysLocation.0”. This field is used to describe
information on the location of this camera. Nothing
is set at the factory.

ActiveX control
A component program object that can be used with web
pages or other application programs. The technology for
creating ActiveX control is part of software developed
by Microsoft.
5) community=<ID>,r,
<communityName>,<IpAddressString>
Set the community attributes. <ID> describes the
setting identification number (1 to 8)
<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 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 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
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).
When you have finished changing the SNMP setting
information using the above parameters 1) to 8), check
the changed settings using an inquiry commands. If the
changed settings are OK, restart the SNMP using the
following CGI command.
