SOFTWARE INSTALLATION

Running the Application for the First Time
Being a fully web-based solution, browse to the Valerus
Application/Web Server. Either enter the IP address or,
if your network has defined server names, browse to
that computer's name. The Application Server can be
either a dedicated unit or a Recording Server defined
as an All-In-One unit that runs both the Application
and Recording Server for the system.
If a dedicated Application Server (Model VLR-APPSRV)
was purchased, this is the Application Server. If the
system only includes one or multiple Recording
Server(s), one of the Recording Servers must be defined
as an All-In-One server from the Valerus Launcher.
The Valerus Launcher can be accessed from the
Windows Start menu. Two icons will be on the desktop
after installation. Click the "Play Me" icon to watch a
clip on Valerus installation. The "Docs" folder contains
all pertinent Valerus documentation.
CLICK on the Valerus VMS Launcher
to display the following screen.
