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.  Select the Enable SNMP checkbox. 
3.  Enter the required settings. 
4.  Click Apply to save the settings and click Exit to return to live view. 
UPnP settings 
The recorder supports UPnP (Universal Plug and Play). This feature lets the recorder 
automatically configure its own port forwarding, if this feature is also enabled in the 
router.  
You can select one of two methods to set up UPnP: 
Automatic mapped type: The recorder automatically uses the free ports available that 
were set up in the Network Settings menu. 
Manual mapped type: You enter the particular external port settings and IP addresses 
required to connect to the desired router (see Figure 27 on page 95).
