Network Tab
Use the Network tab to change the camera’s general network settings, select the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) settings, enable Secure Shell (SSH),
configure 802.1x port security, and select Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) settings.
General Network Settings
The general network settings page includes configurable and read-only fields for IPv4 and IPv6 network communication settings. Available
settings include the hardware address, host name, IPv4 settings, and IPv6 settings. The hardware address is read-only.
IPv4 settings must be configured for the device. You can enable or disable the IPv4 DHCP setting from the general network settings page. If DHCP
is set to On, the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS server settings are automatically assigned to the device and are read-only text. If
DHCP is set to Off, these settings must be manually configured. The default camera setting for DHCP is On.
SSL Settings
The SSL settings page includes SSL configuration modes and certificate generation. To ensure security on the Internet, all Web browsers provide
several security levels that can be adjusted for sites that use SSL technology to transmit data. SSL encrypts communications, making it difficult
for unauthorized users to intercept and view user names and passwords.
SSL requires signed certificates to determine if the Web browser accessing the camera has the required authentication. The camera can
generate a certificate signing request (CSR) that can be sent to a certificate authority for a signature (for example, VeriSign
®
), or it can generate
a self-signed certificate using the Generate Self-Signed Certificate option.
SSH Settings
The SSH settings page enables or disables SSH access to the camera. SSH is a user-enabled protocol that allows Pelco Product Support to log on
to and service the camera for advanced troubleshooting purposes. From the SSH settings page, users with the appropriate permissions can
enable or disable SSH access to the camera.
802.1x Settings
The 802.1x settings page enables or disables 802.1x port security, which authenticates devices that want to establish a point-to-point access
through a wired or wireless port using Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) protocols. This port-based authentication method prevents
unauthorized access to a Local Area Network (LAN) through a physical port. For example, when a device is connected to a network port, the
network switch asks the device for authentication. The device replies with its credentials. If the credentials are accepted, the network switch
opens the port for normal use. If authentication fails, the device is prevented from accessing information on the port.
SNMP Settings
The SNMP setting page includes SNMP configuration settings. SNMP is an application layer protocol used to manage TCP/IP-based networks
from a single workstation or several workstations. The camera supports SNMP v2c and v3 and can be configured to send traps.
