Configure System via FTP

Administrators can use FTP to configure Video Server much quicker than Web page

especially for multiple targets. To configure system via FTP, first download the parameter

file, CONFIG.INI, to customize each field according to the environment and then upload

back to validate the new settings. To log into the FTP daemon, enter “root” as the user

name and the same password used when connecting to the Web server. The serial

number of Video Server is the password for the initial access.

The file is composed of eight categories: [SYSTEM], [LAYOUT], [NETWORK], [VIDEO],

[SERIAL1], [SERIAL2], [ALERT], and [DEMO]. The category name in brackets should be

in upper case. The item name in angle braces should be in lower case. Some items

related to disable/enable should use the keywords “YES”/“NO”. The number zero entry in

<user name> and <user password> is for administrators, i.e. “root”. Basically Video

Server will restart automatically as soon as the file is accepted. If administrators want to

cancel the reboot procedure, set the first item, <reset system> to NO. It will take effect

once only and always show YES in the download file.

A sample CONFIG.INI is attached below. The italic text following each line describes the

characteristic of the field and the bold italic characters are the options of the field.
