The following can be set here.

• Administrator Password - Set the administrator password.

• LAN - Set the IP address and other items needed to establish a LAN connection.

• IPv4 - Set IPv4 address.

• IPv6 - Set IPv6 address.

• DNS - Set the name server address, host name and DDNS registration.

• SNMP - Configure the necessary settings to use SNMP.

Administrator Password

(1) [Password]

Set the administrator password. Up to eight (single-byte) ASCII characters (space or printable characters) can be used. The factory default setting is “camera”. If the Admin Viewer, Admin Tools, etc., are connected, terminate the connection before changing the password.

(2) [Confirm Password]

Enter the same password as above for confirmation.

Important

• To ensure system security, be sure to change the administrator password. Do not forget the new password.

• Press the reset switch to restore factory default settings if you have forgotten the administrator password. Note,

however, that this will reset all camera settings to factory

default settings except for date and time.

LAN

(1) [LAN Interface]

Select [Auto], [Full Duplex] or [Half Duplex]. Normally [Auto] is used.

(2) [Maximum Packet Size]

Enter the maximum transmission unit. Normally there is no need to change the default setting of 1500.

Important

• The camera may become inaccessible from the active web browser if [LAN Interface] or [Maximum Packet Size] settings are changed. Check beforehand the precautions in “Important” in “[Reboot Item] Setting Items Requiring Rebooting”.

• Set [Maximum Packet Size] to 1280 or greater if using IPv6.

Note

When using optical fiber or ADSL, setting the maximum packet size to a slightly lower value may increase sending efficiency.

(1) [IPv4 Address Setting Method]

Select [Manual] or [Auto (DHCP)] in the address setting method. If [Manual] is selected, directly enter the values according to the environment in which the camera is used. If [Auto (DHCP)] is selected, the value automatically acquired from the DHCP server will be entered in [IPv4 Address], [Subnet Mask] and [IPv4 Default Gateway Address].

(2) [IPv4 Address]

If [Manual] is specified in (1), enter a fixed IP address.

(3) [Subnet Mask]

If [Manual] is specified in (1), enter the designated subnet mask values for each network.

(4) [IPv4 Default Gateway Address]

Enter an appropriate value if [Manual] is specified in (1). Be sure to set when connecting the camera to a different subnet from that of the viewer

(5) [AutoIP]

Set AutoIP to [Disable] or [Enable].

(6) [IPv4 Address (AutoIP)]

When [Enable] is selected in (5), an automatically set IP address is displayed.

Important

• Contact your System Administrator for the [IPv4 Address], [Subnet Mask] and [IPv4 Default Gateway Address].

• The camera's IP address cannot be set to an IP address that starts with 127., such as 127.0.0.1.

• If any of the [IPv4 Address], [Subnet Mask] or [IPv4 Default Gateway Address] settings are wrong, network access may be disabled. In this case, see “Performing Initial Settings for the Camera” and use VB Initial Setting Tool to set the address again.

• The camera may become inaccessible from the active web browser if settings are changed in [IPv4 Address], [Subnet Mask] or [IPv4 Default Gateway Address]. Check beforehand the precautions in “Important” in “[Reboot Item] Setting Items Requiring Rebooting”

• If [Auto (DHCP)] is selected as the IPv4 address setting mode, the IPv4 address may not be assigned correctly in certain environments, such as when a router is present between the DHCP server and the camera. In this case, assign a fixed IPv4 address from the [Manual] settings

(1) [IPv6]

Set IPv6 use to [Disable] or [Enable].

(2) [Auto (RA)]

Select [Enable] to set an address automatically using RA (Router Advertisement, network information automatically transmitted from a router), or select [Disable] not to set an address automatically.

(3) [Auto (DHCPv6)]

Select [Enable] to use DHCPv6 to set an address automatically or [Disable] not to set an address automatically.

(4) [IPv6 Address (Manual)]

Enter a fixed IPv6 address.

(5) [Prefix Length]

Enter a prefix length from 16 to 128 if [Disable] is specified in (2).

(6) [IPv6 Default Gateway Address]

Enter a default gateway address if [Disable] is specified in (2). Be sure to set when connecting the camera to a different subnet from that of the viewer.

(7) [IPv6 Address (Auto)]

If [Enable] is specified in (1) and [Enable] is specified in (2) and (3), then the automatically acquired address will be shown.

Important

• Contact your System Administrator for the [IPv6 Address (Manual)], [Prefix Length] and [IPv6 Default Gateway

Address].

• The camera may become inaccessible from the active web browser if settings are changed in [IPv6], [IPv6 Address (Manual)], [Prefix Length] or [IPv6 Default Gateway Address].

Check beforehand the precautions in “Important” in “[Reboot Item] Setting Items Requiring Rebooting”

Note

In an environment where IPv6 cannot be used, if IPv6 is set to [Enable] and auto is set to [Enable], then the [IPv6 Address (Auto)] field will display the link-local address only.

(1) [Name Server Address 1], [Name Server Address 2]

Enter the name server address you want to register.

To register only one address, keep the [Name Server Address 2] field blank.

(2) [Auto-Setting of Name Server Address]

Select the method for setting the name server address automatically using DHCP. Select [Use DHCP] to use a name server address obtained automatically from the DHCP server. Select [Use DHCPv6] to use a name server address obtained automatically from the DHCPv6 server. Select [Use DHCP/DHCPv6] to use a name server address obtained automatically from the DHCP server or DHCPv6 server. Select [Disable] if not using DHCP.

To set [Use DHCP], select [Auto (DHCP)] in [IPv4 Address Setting Method].

To set [Use DHCPv6], select [Enable] in [IPv6], then select [Enable] in [Auto (DHCPv6)].

(3) [Name Server Address (DHCP)]

Select [Use DHCP] or [Use DHCP/DHCPv6] in [Auto-Setting of Name Server Address] to display the name server address acquired from the DHCP server.

(4) [Name Server Address (DHCPv6)]

Select [Use DHCPv6] or [Use DHCP/DHCPv6] in [Auto-Setting of Name Server Address] to display the name server address acquired from the DHCPv6 server.

(5) [Host Name]

You can register the host name of the camera in the name server.

Characters A to Z, a to z, 0 to 9, “-” (hyphen), “_” (underscore) and “.” (period) may be used up to 63 (single-byte) characters in length.

(6) [Host Name Registration with DDNS]

Select [Enable] to register the entered name server address and host name of the camera.

(7) [Search Domain]

Specify the host name, without specifying a domain name, for a server, such as the upload server, to search domains in the form “host name + domain name”, where the domain names are specified in the server domain list. Enter a domain name and click [Add] to add the domain name to the search domain list.

(8) [Search Domain List]

A list of domain names added using [Search Domain] appears. The function queries DNS server for each domain name starting from the top of the list. Use the ?? buttons on the right to change the order of the domain names.

To delete a domain name, select one from the list and then click [Delete].

Important

Do not use “_” (underscore) in [Host Name] and [Search Domain] in Internet Explorer 8/9/10/11.

Note

• Use [Host Name Registration with DDNS] if the camera IP Address Setting Method is [Auto (DHCP)] (p. 37). DNS server registration settings must be set in advance. Contact your System Administrator for the DNS server settings.

• If the name server address 1 is unavailable, the name server address 2 will be accessed. However, the name server address 2 must be set in advance.

(1) [SNMP]

Set SNMP use to [Disable] or [Enable]. Camera information can be referenced by the SNMP Manager if [Enable] is specified.

(2) [Community Name]

Set a community name for SNMP. It is recommended that you change the community name to ensure system security.

(3) [Administrator Contact Information]

Set contact information (e-mail address, etc.) for the Administrator of the camera. Setting information can be referenced by the SNMP manager.

(4) [Administration Function Name]

Set the camera name used for administration. Setting information can be referenced by the SNMP manager. If left blank, the following will be used by default:

S30    VB-S30D

S31    VB-S31D

S80x    VB-S800D or VB-S805D

S90x    VB-S900F or VB-S905F

(5) [Installation Location]

Set information regarding the installation location of this camera. Setting information can be referenced by the SNMP manager.

Note

• The information set in the camera is read-only from the SNMP manager.

• Use the SNMP Manager that supports SNMP MIB2 (supporting RFC1213).

• Supports SNMP protocol versions v1 and v2c (v3 unsupported)
