Network Video Server Settings
1
Changing a password
Example: To change the password for the
Administrator level (ID3) to “1234”
Passwords can consist of between 4 and 8
numerals.
☞
Type “1234” as the password in the
password column for ID3, and then click the
[SET] button.
Check that the details are correct, and then
close the window.
(When a password has been changed)
When the video server and the computer are
connected once more, the network password
entry window will be displayed, so check the
username and type in the new password
(“1234”) into the Password box.
2
NETWORK SPEED
This sets the speed of data transmission by
the video server.
Available settings:
NO LIMIT: No limit on data transmission speed
64, 128, 256, 512, 1024 (Kbps)
3
HTTP PORT NUMBER
When more than one video server is connected
to a broadband router and a single IP address
for that router is being used to make the images
being monitored by the video server publicly
available over the Internet, this setting is used to
set the router’s port number to use. Refer to the
documentation provided with the broadband
router for further details.
Normally the HTTP PORT NUMBER setting
should be left at the default value of “80” without
being changed, even if more than one video
server is connected to the network.
4
MAC ADDRESS display
This shows the Mac address for the video server.
Note:
•
Up to a maximum of 16 individual users can access
a single video server on the network at the same
time. However, only one user out of this maximum
of 16 users can be accessing at Operator or
Administrator level at any one time.
•
Depending on the network environment, it may not
be possible for 16 users to be connected to a video
server at the same time. Once a user has accessed
a video server, the network may not allow further
accesses, so if this happens, reduce the resolution
or increase the compression ratio for the transferred
data to reduce the volume of data being transferred.
In addition, if more than one input signal is being
received by the video server, the access speed may
be delayed, and it may not be possible for the full
number of 16 users to connect to the video server.
•
If a 17th user tries to access a video server, the
message “THE UNIT IS BUSY!” will be displayed
on their screen. Depending on the network
environment, the message “THE UNIT IS BUSY!”
may be displayed on a user’s computer screen
even when less than 16 users are accessing a
video server.
•
If a user at Administrator level accesses a video
server while a user at Operator level is accessing
the video server, the Administrator level user will
have priority. In such cases, the Operator level user
will be disconnected and the message “THE UNIT
IS DISCONNECTED!” will be displayed on their
screen.
•
Depending on the network environment, the speed
of data transmission to users may drop if the
number of users accessing the same video server
increases, and operations such as refreshing of
images may become delayed.
