Introduction Introduction

How to administer the video system

In general, we recommend you to use the web interface
to administer and maintain the video system, as
described in this administrator guide.
Alternatively, you can access the API of the video
system by other methods:
• HTTP or HTTPS (also used by the web interface)
• SSH
• Telnet
• Serial interface (RS-232)
If you want more information about the different access
methods, and how to use the API, refer to the API guide
for the video system.
Tip
If the configuration or status is available in the API, the
web interface setting or status translates into an API
configuration or status as follows:
Set X > Y > Z to Value (web)
is the same as
(API)
xConfiguration X Y Z: Value
Check X > Y > Z status (web)
is the same as
(API)
xStatus X Y Z
For example:
Set SystemUnit > Name to MySystem
is the same as
xConfiguration SystemUnit Name: MySystem
Check SystemUnit > Software > Version
is the same as
xStatus SystemUnit Software Version
More settings and status are available in the web
interface than in the API.

(set to On) any of the access methods, and you must factory reset the video system to recover.
