System Options

SOCKS

SOCKS is a networking proxy protocol. The Axis product can b e conﬁgured to use a SOCKS server to reach networks on the other

side of a ﬁrewall or proxy server. This functionality is useful if the A xis product is located on a local network behind a ﬁrewall, and

notiﬁcations, uploads, alarms, etc need to be sent to a destination outside the local network (for example the Internet).

SOCKS is conﬁgured under System Options > Network > SOCKS. For more informatio n, see the online help

QoS (Quality of Service)

QoS (Quality of Service) guarantees a certain level of a speciﬁed resource to selected trafﬁc on a network. A QoS-aware network

prioritizes network trafﬁc and provides a greater network reliability by controlling the amount of bandwidth an application may use.

The Q oS settings are conﬁgured under System Options > Network > Q oS . Using DSCP (Differentiated Services Co depo int) values, the

Axis product can mark the following types of trafﬁc: live video, event/ala rm trafﬁc and management trafﬁc.

SMTP (email)

To send email messages from the Axis pro duct via SM TP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol), an SMTP mail server must be set up. This

is done under System Options > Network > SMTP (email).

Enter the host names or IP addresses and port numbers for the primary and secondary mail servers in the ﬁelds provided . A From

email address is also required . If the mail server requires authentication, check Use authentication to log in to this server and enter

the necessary information.

SNMP

The Simple Network Ma nag ement P rotocol (SNMP) allows remote management of network devices. An SNM P com munity is the

group of devices and management station running SNMP. Community names are used to identify groups.

The Axis product can be conﬁgured to support SNMP on the System Options > Network > SNMP page.

Depending on the level of security req uired, select the version on SNMP to use.

SNMP v1/v2 provides the lowest level of security. The community name can be speciﬁed as a p assw ord for re ad or read/write

access to all supported SNMP devices. The default passw ord for the Read community is public and the default password for the

Write community is write.

Note

If HTTPS is enabled, SNMP v1 and SNMP v2c should be disabled.

Traps for SNMP v1/v2 are used by the Axis product to send messages to a management system on important events and status

changes. Check Enable traps and enter the IP address where the trap message should be sent a nd the Trap community that

should receive the message.

The following traps are available:

•Coldstart

•Warmstart

•Linkup

• Authentication failed

SNMP v3 provides encryption and secure passwords. To use traps with SNMP v3, an SNMP v3 management application is required.

To use SNMP v3, HTTPS must be e nab led, see

HTTPS on page 33

. To enable SNMP v3, check the box and provide the initial user

password.
