SNMP Agent
Simple Network Monitor Protocol (SNMP) is used
in network management systems to monitor
network-attached devices for conditions that warrant
administrative attention. The airCam Dome contains an
SNMP agent which allows it to communicate to SNMP
manage applications for network provisioning.
The SNMP Agent provides an interface for device
monitoring using the Simple Network Management
Protocol (an application layer protocol that facilitates the
exchange of management information between network
devices). SNMP Agent allows network administrators to
monitor network performance, find and solve network
problems. For the purpose of equipment identification,
it is always a good idea to configure SNMP agents with
contact and location information:
Enable SNMP Agent Select to enable the SNMP Agent.
• SNMP Community Specify the SNMP community
string. It is required to authenticate access to MIB
objects and functions as an embedded password. The
airCam Dome supports a Read-only community string
that gives read access to authorized management
stations to all the objects in the MIB except the
community strings, but does not allow write access.
The airCam Dome supports SNMP v1. The default SNMP
Community is public.
• Contact Specify the contact who that should be
notified in case an emergency situation arises.
• Location Specify the physical location of the airCam
Dome.
Web Server
The following Web Server parameters can be configured:
Use Secure Connection (HTTPS) If checked Web server
will use secure HTTPS mode. HTTPS mode is unchecked by
default.
• Secure Server Port Defines the Web Server TCP/IP port
Use Secure Connection (HTTPS) is enabled.
Server Port Web Server TCP/IP port setting while using
HTTP mode.
Session Timeout Specifies the maximum timeout before
the session expires. Once a session expires, you must login
again using the username and password.
SSH Server
The following SSH Server parameters can be configured:
Enable SSH Server This option enables SSH access to the
airCam Dome.
• Server Port SSH service TCP/IP port setting.
• Enable Password Authentication When enabled,
you must authenticate using Administrator credentials
in order to grant SSH access to the airCam Dome,
otherwise an Authentication Key will be required.
• Authorized Keys Click Edit to import a public key file
working to get SSH access to the airCam Dome instead
of using an admin password. To do so, perform the
following steps:
1. Click Choose File to locate and select the key file, then
click Import.
2. Click Save to save your changes or Close to discard
your changes.
Telnet Server
The following Telnet Server parameters can be set:
Enable Telnet Server This option activates the Telnet
access to the airCam Dome.
• Server Port Telnet service TCP/IP port setting.
NTP Client
The NTP (Network Time Protocol) Client option allows the
airCam Dome to synchronize the time over the Internet
from a network time server. Using this option helps to
ensure accurate time for recordings, schedules, and logs.
Enable NTP Client Enables the airCam Dome to obtain
the system time from a time server on the Internet.
• NTP Server Specify the IP address or domain name of
the NTP Server.
