Initial Access to the Video Server

The Video Server can be connected either before or immediately after software installation onto the Local

Area Network. The Administrator should complete the network settings on the configuration page. For

complete protection from illegal usage, the Video Server provides two privileges and always needs user

name and password before access. The standard level is the USER mode that consists of twenty user

profiles. Each user is able to access the Video Server except for system configuration. Twenty users’

profiles are also maintained by the administrator. The highest level is ROOT mode that only opens to

Administrator for initial setup, system configuration, user administration and software upgrade. The user

name of the Administrator is internally assigned to “root”.

When connecting to the Video Server, users will be requested for user name and password by an

authentication message window. A root password, identical to the Video Server's serial number, is needed

for the initial access to a newly installed Video Server. The administrator must change the root password

immediately after the initial installation to ensure security. The new root password should be well

memorized since there is no way to retrieve or recover it. After changing the password, the browser will

display an authentication window again to ask for the new password.

The other important part is network settings. The software configuration above makes the Video Server

easily accessed through local networks. However Administrator should review the network settings on the

configuration page according to the existing service. The safe and easy way is to compare the network

settings with another PC or workstation in the same network.

By default the Video Server will acquiring IP address automatically every time it reboots. If the network

settings are sure to work all the time, disable the “Reset network at next boot” option if this IP address is

already reserved for this the Video Server. Clearing this option will fix IP address of the video server

every time it boots up. If the option stays checked, the Video Server will pick up any available IP address

automatically every time the system boots up.
