Compared to the Compatibility View-Change this configuration has to be done every time the
website is opened again.
How should a management software be configured regarding encryption to poll the
CMC III over SNMPv3?
The connection through SNMPv3 is encrypted. As standard encryption methods some
different techniques are possible. Because of this, in the management software the correct
method for the CMC III must be configured. In most cases, there is a differentiation in
“Authentication”- and “Privacy”-encryption. As “Authentication”-encryption, the CMC III uses
the method “MD5”, as “Privacy”-encryption the CMC III uses “DES”. The password, which is
configured on the CMC III website in the SNMP dialogue, is used for both encryption
methods.
If I cannot see the live picture of the Axis webcam, although it is configured correctly
in the CMC III. What should be changed in the software of the webcam?
In general it is recommended to update the firmware of the Axis
®
-webcam before integrate it
in the CMC III. The update can be downloaded from the Axis
®
website.
There are two possible ways to configure the connection between the CMC III and the Axis
®
-
webcam once again. This is necessary with special types of Axis
®
-webcams. In general, the
rights to connect with the webcam must be changed. One solution is to allow a connection in
general for everyone; the second way is to connect unencrypted.
This configuration has to be done on the webcam first and afterwards the configuration of the
CMC III must be changed.
For anonymous login no user has to
be configured as “Viewer” in the software of the
webcam. But in the “Users” menu the option „Enable anonymous viewer login” has to be
activated. Also in the configuration of the CMC III no user has to be configured and the fields
“Username” and “Password” must be empty in the webcam configuration dialogue.
