SNMP settings
SNMP is a protocol for managing devices on networks. When you enable SNMP in the menu,
network management systems can retrieve recorder status information from the recorder via
SNMP.
When you set the trap address and trap port in the recorder menu to the network management
system’s IP address and port number, and set up the network management system as trap
receiver, trap notifications (such as startup) are sent from the recorder to the network
management system.
Before configuring this function, you must first install the SNMP software.
To configure SNMP protocol settings:
1. From the menu toolbar, click Network Settings > SNMP.
2. Check the Enable SNMP box.
3. Enter the required settings.
4. Click Apply to save the settings and click Exit to return to live view.
