Assigning an IP address using SNC
toolbox
Preparation
The Preparation section explains what the administrator
has to prepare for monitoring images after installation
and connection of the camera.
Assigning the IP
Address to the Camera
To connect the camera to a network, you need to assign
a new IP address to the camera when you install it for the
first time.
You can assign an IP address in two ways:
• Using SNC toolbox stored in the supplied CD-ROM
(see this page)
• Using the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)
commands (see page 89)
This section explains how to assign an IP address to the
camera using the SNC toolbox 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.
Notes
• SNC toolbox may not operate correctly if you use a
personal firewall or antivirus software in your
computer. In that case, disable the software or assign
an IP address to the camera using another method. For
example, see “Assigning the IP Address to the Camera

• Pan/Tilt limitation
The SolidPTZ function controls streaming by
cropping or reducing a maximum size image.
Thus, the more the camera zooms out, the less area to
be panned or tilted, and becomes unavailable at the
WIDE setting.
•Zoom
The SolidPTZ function enables you to display an area
of the cropped image from the maximum image size,
when zoomed in at the TELE setting.
And the whole area shot in the maximum image size
will be displayed if the camera is zoomed out at the
WIDE setting.
The SolidPTZ function’s zoom is performed digitally;
therefore, some deterioration in image quality may be
observed at the TELE setting.

Switching TCP/UDP
You can execute various functions by clicking their
respective buttons on the Trigger panel.
Sending a monitor image via e-mail
You can send a captured still image by attaching it to an
e-mail.
To use this function, you need to make e-Mail (SMTP)
active and set the address in the Trigger menu of the
Administrator menu properly (page 71).
1
Click e-Mail (SMTP) on the Trigger panel.
The still image of the time you click is captured,
and your e-mail with the image file attached is sent
to the specified mail address.
Sending a monitor image to an FTP
server
You can send a captured still image to the FTP server.
To use this function, you need to make FTP active and
set the address in the Trigger menu of the Administrator
menu properly (page 72).
Transmission Mode
You can select TCP or UDP as the communication port
for video data.
This function can be used when Mode (video codec
mode) is set to MPEG4 or H.264 and the ActiveX
viewer is used.
Notes
• The function may not operate correctly if you use
personal firewall software or antivirus software on
your computer. In that case, disable the software or
select the TCP mode.
• If you are using Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later,
Windows Vista or Windows 7, disable “Windows
Firewall”. For details, see “Configuring Windows
Firewall” in “When using Windows XP Service Pack
2 or later” on page 9, “Configuring Windows

TCP: This is normally selected.
When TCP is selected as the communication port,
HTTP communication is adopted for video
communication.
HTTP is the protocol used for reading the usual
Web page.
In an environment capable of reading Web pages,
you can watch video by selecting the TCP port.
Unicast: When Unicast is selected as the
communication port, RTP (Real-time Transport
Protocol) is adopted for video communication.
Since RTP is the protocol for running video data,
the video 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, video may not be played
back properly when Unicast is selected. In this
case, select TCP.

Multicast: This protocol is selectable when
Multicast streaming (page 43) is On. When
Multicast is selected as the transmission port, RTP
(Real-time Transport Protocol) and UDP multicast
techniques are adopted for video transmission. By
selecting it, the network transmission load of the
camera can be reduced. If a router that does not
correspond to a multicast or firewall is installed
between the camera and the computer, video may
not be played back properly. In this case, select
TCP or Unicast.

Supplicant
A supplicant is a device that connects to the
authentication server to join the network. This unit
serves as a supplicant in the 802.1X network. The
supplicant can enter the 802.1X network after
appropriate authentication by the authentication server.
When you click in the Administrator menu, the
802.1X menu appears.
Use this menu to configure the wired port-based
authentication in compliance with the 802.1X standard.
The 802.1X menu consists of three tabs: Common, Client certificate and CA certificate.
Notes
• To use the 802.1X authentication function, you need
knowledge of the 802.1X authentication (WPA and
WPA2) and digital certificate. To establish an 802.1X
network, you need to configure the authenticator,
authentication server and other elements. For details
Administrating the Camera
on these settings, refer to the manual of the
corresponding equipment.
• When using the 802.1X authentication function,
always configure the settings after setting the date and
time of the camera. If the date and time are incorrect,
port authentication may not be performed correctly.
System configuration of 802.1X
802.1X
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 connected
users and verifies if the supplicant is a valid user or not.
It can also be 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 EAP mode in which the supplicant
and the server authenticate using the certificate. This
mode requires a CA to issue the certificate.

Assigning the IP
Address to the Camera
Using ARP Commands
This section explains how to assign an IP address to the
camera using ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)
commands without using the SNC toolbox.
Note
When you turn on the camera, execute the ARP and
PING commands within 5 minutes. Also when you
restart the camera, execute the operation within
5 minutes.
1
Open the command prompt on the computer.
When using Windows Vista, right click Command prompt in Start-All Programs- Accessories, and
select Run as administrator.
2
Enter the IP address and the MAC address of the
camera to assign a new IP address, using the
following ARP commands.
arp -s <Camera’s IP address> <Camera’s MAC address>
ping -t <Camera’s IP address>
When the following line is displayed on the
command prompt, hold down Ctrl and press C.
Display stops.
Reply from 192.168.0.100:bytes=32 time...
You will normally receive a reply after about 5
repetitions of “Request time out”.
4
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 a NETWORK indicator turned on?
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.

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 any illegal
access using SNMP.
Using CGI commands, you can set the community name
and access limitation, host to send traps, and some MIB2 objects. To allow these settings, you need
authentication by the camera administrator.
1. Inquiry Commands
You can check the SNMP Agent settings using the
following CGI commands.
