The device interface
Port: Enter the port number used for access.
Login and Password: If needed, enter username and password for the proxy server.
Authentication method:
• Basic: This method is the most compatible authentication scheme for HTTP. It's less secure than the Digest method
because it sends the username and password unencrypted to the server.
• Digest: This method is more secure because it always transfers the password encrypted across the network.
• Auto: This option lets the device select the authentication method depending on the supported methods. It prioritizes
the Digest method over the Basic method.
Owner authentication key (OAK): Click Get key to fetch the owner authentication key. This is only possible if the device is
connected to the internet without a firewall or proxy.
SNMP
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) allows remote management of network devices.
SNMP: Select the version of SNMP to use.
• v1 and v2c:

Note
All Axis Video MIB traps are enabled when you turn on SNMP v1 and v2c traps. For more information, see
AXIS OS Portal > SNMP.
• v3: SNMP v3 is a more secure version, which provides encryption and secure passwords. To use SNMP v3, we
recommend you to activate HTTPS, as the password is then sent through HTTPS. This also prevents unauthorized
parties to access unencrypted SNMP v1 and v2c traps. If you use SNMP v3, you can set up traps through the SNMP v3
management application.

Certificates
Read community: Enter the community name that has read-only access to all supported SNMP objects. The
default value is public.
Write community: Enter the community name that has read/write access to all supported SNMP objects
(except read-only objects). The default value is write.
Activate traps: Turn on to activate trap reporting. The device uses traps to send messages for important
events or status changes to a management system. In the device interface, you can set up traps for SNMP v1
and v2c. Traps are automatically turned off if you change to SNMP v3 or turn off SNMP. If you use SNMP v3,
you can set up traps through the SNMP v3 management application.
Trap address: Enter the IP address or host name of the management server.
Trap community: Enter the community to use when the device sends a trap message to the management
system.
Traps:
Cold start: Sends a trap message when the device starts.
Warm start: Sends a trap message when you change an SNMP setting.
Link up: Sends a trap message when a link changes from down to up.
Authentication failed: Sends a trap message when an authentication attempt fails.
Password for the account "initial": Enter the SNMP password for the account named "initial". Although the
password can be sent without activating HTTPS, we don't recommend it. The SNMP v3 password can only
be set once, and preferably only when HTTPS is enabled. Once the password is set, the password field is no
longer displayed. To set the password again, you must reset the device to factory default settings.
