4.4 MX/IP
MX/IP is a proprietary Siqura protocol which gives direct access to the settings of the TC620-PID.
Using special MX software, such as
MX Configuration Tool , TC620-PID settings can be read from
and written to the Management Information Base (MIB), a list of variables stored inside the unit.
Offering full control of the TC620-PID, the MIB enables you to remotely configure device settings
and manage media streams. Additional MX viewing and control software offers real-time
monitoring of video streams and playback of recorded images. For more information about
MX/IP, the MIB, and Siqura's EMX network service, refer to the manuals which document the MX
SDK and the MX applications.
Note:
If you prefer using open standards, you can disable the MX/IP protocol. This is done on the
MX tab of the Device Management page. Be aware that doing so prevents you from upgrading
the TC620-PID firmware through
MX Firmware Upgrade Tool .
4.5 SNMP
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), part of the internet protocol suite, can be
used to monitor network devices such as the TC620-PID for conditions or events that require
administrative attention. For more information, refer to appropriate literature on SNMP.
The TC620-PID supports in-band SNMP. Via SNMP, several status variables can be read and
traps can be generated on events. You can configure TC620-PID SNMP settings on the SNMP tab
of the Device Management page.
The SNMP Agent is MIB-2 compliant and supports versions 1 and 2c of the SNMP protocol.
Note:
The TC620-PID includes SNMP support for its tamper detect function. A trap is sent when
camera tampering is detected.
Required MIB files can be downloaded at www.siqura.com.
4.6 SAP
The TC620-PID supports the Session Announcement Protocol (SAP), a protocol used for
broadcasting multicast session information. A SAP listening application can listen to the
announcements advertised by the TC620-PID SAP announcer. The application can use this
information to receive a video or audio stream that the TC620-PID is transmitting to the
advertised multicast address. For more information, see the description of the Video and Audio
pages.
4.7 NTCIP
The National Transportation Communications for ITS Protocol (NTCIP) is a communication
protocol deployed in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) in the USA. It is a family of
standards designed to provide definitions of common data elements and communication
protocols for the interaction between traffic management centre(s) and road-side devices such
as cameras, traffic signals, and highway lighting. The goal of the standards is to achieve
interoperability and interchangeability between systems manufactured by different vendors in
order to reduce the total cost of traffic systems, including maintenance.
The TC620-PID supports all the mandatory parts and some of the optional parts of the NTCIP
CCTV specification as laid down in the NTCIP 1205:2001 v01.08 document. For details about the
NTCIP configuration of the TC620-PID, see
Appendix: NTCIP Configuration .
