AXIS 240Q - System Options

The QoS in Axis network video products marks the data packets for various types of

network traffic originating from the product. This makes it possible for network routers

and switches to e.g. reserve a fixed amount of bandwidth for these types of traffic. The

following types of traffic are marked:

• live video

• live audio

• event/alarm traffic

• management network traffic.

QoS Settings

For each type of network traffic supported by your Axis network video product, enter a

DSCP (Differentiated Services Codepoint) value. This value is used to mark the traffic’s IP

header. When the marked traffic reaches a network router or switch, the DSCP value in the

IP header tells the router or switch which type of treatment to apply to this type of traffic,

for example, how much bandwidth to reserve for it.

Note that DSCP values can be entered in decimal or hex form, but saved values are always

shown in decimal.

SMTP (email)

Enter the host names or addresses for your primary and secondary mail servers in the

fields provided, to enable event and error email messages from the video server to

predefined addresses, via SMTP. If the mail server requires SMTP authentication, check the

box for Use authentication to log in to this server and enter the user name and password

used for logging in. Several different methods of authentication are available. See the

online help for more information.

SNMP

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) allows the remote management of

network devices. Select the version of SNMP to use, depending on the level of security

required. Select the version of SNMP to use, by checking the appropriate box. The three

levels of security are:

• SNMP V1 - includes no security

• SNMP V2c - uses very simple security, e.g. community name as password

• SNMP V3 - provides encryption and secure passwords. Use with HTTPS.

If using V1 and V2c, enter the community name for read-only access to all supported

SNMP objects (except the root password and other objects that require write access).

Default value = public. You can also specify the community name for read/write access to

all supported SNMP objects (except read-only objects). Default value = pass.
