Setting Up the System
If your system uses additional computers
(“Slave” computers) connected to the network
in addition to the Master computer, be sure to
configure the following initial settings before
letting end users use the system. This
procedure must be performed on each of the
computers you want to use as Slave
computers.
1
Start the DVR Utility Software, and log
in using user level ID4 (see P14).
Log in as an administrative user so that
you have access to the Initial Set menu.
2
Open the [Options] window from the
Initial Set menu, and configure initial
settings as needed (see P73).
Set [PC TYPE] to “SLAVE”, and enter
the IP address of the Master computer.
Configure the display language and other
options as needed.
3
Log out of the system (see P14).
Now the Slave computer has its initial
settings configured so that the end users
can use it.
When Windows XP Firewall or some other
firewall program is active on your computer,
the computer is blocked from communicating
with the DVRs and thus the system fails to
operate correctly. This means that you must
disable the firewall protection before you begin
using the DVR Utility Software.
Note that, if you are using Windows XP SP2,
its firewall protection is enabled by default.
When you run the DVR Utility Software for the
first time, Windows XP SP2 displays a window
where you can choose firewall options; select
[Unblock] so that your computer is not blocked
from receiving traffic from the DVRs.
Setting Up Slave Computers
You can connect up to seven Slave
computers to the network.
