can use an external time server. In order to run the Net time command on either server, the
server must be on the domain, and the user logged onto the server must have admin
privileges and be part of the domain. To synchronize the Portal Server and the NVR use the
following command:
• Windows 2003 Server – Open a command prompt on the Portal Server and type:
Net time \\{NVR IP Address} /SET
Script Devices
Script devices work with scripts and can be used to control VBricks, or other devices
attached to a VBrick via the serial port. In order to use a script, the device (a VBrick, STB,
camera, VCR, etc.) must be defined in the Portal Server database as a script device. Once
defined, they can be subsequently controlled by a script (see Scripts
on page 49) launched
from the Portal Server Scheduler. A script device must be physically connected to the
network and must be available at the runtime of a scheduled event. For example, PTZ
cameras respond to pan, tilt, and zoom commands. Once defined as a script device, pan,
zoom, and tilt commands can be scripted and executed from ETV Portal Server to control
the movement of the camera at a specific date, time, and recurrence.
T To add a Script Device configuration:
1. Go to
Global Settings > Script Devices.
2. Select
Add Script Devices and click Submit.
Note You can also write a script (launched from the Portal Server) that uses TCP/IP to
communicate with any compatible device on the network. Contact VBrick Support
Services for more information.
