Using more than one event type to control the output is not recommended. • Send email notification to - Check this box to enable the sending of email to notify recipients of events. Enter the email address(es) in the field provided. Multiple addresses must be separated by semicolons (;) To add your own text, check the Include text box and enter your text. Note that a mail server must be configured in the SMTP network settings. • Send HTTP notification - This method sends a notification to an HTTP server. Select the name of the server. Note that the destination server must first be configured in Notification Servers. See the following page. • Send TCP notification -This method sends a TCP/IP notification. The destination server must also first be configured in Notification Servers. Click OK to save the event type setup. Upload Servers Clicking this link will open the list of FTP servers currently configured in the server. The listing shows the name and address of the server, as well as the upload path and user name. Adding an Upload Server Click the Add button. This opens the Upload Server Setup dialog. The following information should then be provided for the new server. • Name - This can be any descriptive name you like. • Network address - Enter the IP address or host name of the server. To use a host name, a DNS server must be specified in the TCP/IP network settings. • Upload path - Specify the path to the directory where the uploaded images will be stored. If this directory does not already exist on the ftp server, there will be an error message when uploading. • Additional information - In this field you can add extra information about the server. For example, if the saved video files can also be accessed via a UNC address (e.g. \\video\file1.mpeg), then you could add text providing this address. This information will be included in email sent by events that use this server. •The user name and password you use to log on to the server. When finished, you can test the setup by clicking the Connect button. The results of the connection test will then be displayed in a message box. AXIS 250S User’s Manual Operating the AXIS 250S AXIS 250S User’s Manual Operating the AXIS 250S Notification Servers To allow your event types to send HTTP and TCP notifications, the necessary servers must first be configured. The Notification Server list shows the servers currently configured. These severs are shown as the alternatives when selecting this type of notification in the event type setup, as described in the preceding section. Note that event notification server settings have nothing to do with the change of IP address notification settings. HTTP Notification An HTTP notification normally requires some sort of script to be located on the destination server. This script reads the parameters sent in the notification and then performs some sort of action. The following information should be provided for an HTTP notification server: • Name - This can be any name you like. • URL - In this field you should provide the IP or host address of the server, the path to your script, and finally the name of the script. For example: • Custom Parameters - Enter your own text here. See also below. • User name/password - If you need to supply a user name and password to access the HTTP server, provide these here. • Proxy/Proxy port - If you must pass a proxy server to access the HTTP server, provide the server’s network address and the port used for access. • Proxy user name/password - The proxy server may require a user name and password. • Retry count - If the connection attempt fails, enter the number of times to retry. • Message - Enter your own text here. This will be displayed in the notification. This is then what is actually included when the HTTP notification is sent: For the Custom field the following should be noted: • The field must be named as a parameter for it to work. For example: • The field must be manually URL-encoded. This means that to use special characters, these must be coded and not simply typed. For example, to include a blank space, type %20 instead. The equal sign (=) can be typed directly.
