Configure System Via Ftp - Vivotek IP2112 User Manual

Configure System via FTP

Administrators can use FTP to configure Network Camera much quicker than Web page
especially for multiple targets. To configure system via FTP, first download the parameter
file, CONFIG.INI, to customize each field according to the environment and then upload
back to validate the new settings. To log into the FTP daemon, enter "root" as the user
name and the same password used when connecting to the Web server. The serial
number of Network Camera is the password for the initial access.
The file is composed of eight categories: [SYSTEM], [LAYOUT], [NETWORK], [VIDEO],
[ALERT], and [DEMO]. The category name in brackets should be in upper case. The item
name in angle braces should be in lower case. Some items related to disable/enable
should use the keywords "YES"/"NO". The number zero entry in <user name> and <user
password> is for administrators, i.e. "root". Basically Network Camera will restart
automatically as soon as the file is accepted. If administrators want to cancel the reboot
procedure, set the first item, <reset system> to NO. It will take effect once only and
always show YES in the download file.
A sample CONFIG.INI is attached below. The italic text following each line describes the
characteristic of the field and the bold italic characters are the options of the field.
