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 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:

Chapter 7: Services Tab

SSH Server

The following SSH Server parameters can be set:

Enable SSH Server This option enables SSH access to the airCam.

• 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, 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 instead of using an admin password. Click Browse to locate and select the key file, then click Import. Click Save to save your changes or Close to discard your changes.

Telnet Server

The following Telnet Server parameters can be set:

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 supports a Readonly 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 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.

Web Server

Enable Telnet Server This option activates the Telnet access to the airCam.

Server Port Telnet service TCP/IP port setting.

NTP Client

The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a protocol for synchronizing the clocks of computer systems over packet-switched, variablelatency data networks. It can be used to set the airCam system time. System Time is reported next to the every System Log entry while registering system events if the Log option is enabled.

The following Web Server parameters can be set:

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.

Enable NTP Client Enables the airCam 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.
