SNMP settings
SNMP is a protocol for managing devices on networks. When you enable SNMP in the
menu, network management systems can retrieve recorder status information from the
recorder via SNMP.
When you set the trap address and trap port in the recorder menu to the network
management system’s IP address and port number, and set up the network
management system as trap receiver, trap notifications (such as startup) are sent from
the recorder to the network management system.
Before configuring this function, you must first install the SNMP software.
To configure SNMP protocol settings:
1. From the menu toolbar, click
Network Settings
>
SNMP.
2. Check the
Enable SNMP
box.
3. Enter the required settings.
4. Click
Apply
to save the settings and click
Exit
to return to live view.
UPnP settings
The recorder supports UPnP (Universal Plug and Play). This feature lets the recorder
automatically configure its own port forwarding, if this feature is also enabled in the
router.
You can select one of two methods to set up UPnP:
Automatic mapped type
: The recorder automatically uses the free ports available that
were set up in the Network Settings menu.
Manual mapped type
: You enter the particular external port settings and IP addresses
required to connect to the desired router (see Figure 23 below).
