Establishing The Connection - VCS VIP 10 User Manual

Configuration using a Web Browser

Establishing the connection

The integrated HTTP server allows the unit to be configured over the network
using a Web browser. This option offers considerably more possibilities and is
more convenient than configuration using terminal software. It also allows live
video images to be displayed.
Note
Before the computer can decode live video images, the appropriate, special
ActiveX Control must be installed. The latest version of the ActiveX Control
is on the accompanying software CD. It is also available from VCS
Customer Service or as an Internet download at www.vcs.com.
Instructions for using the Web browser can be found in its online help.
System requirements
Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 5.5 or higher)
Monitor resolution 1024 × 768 pixels
Network access (intranet or Internet)
Note
Make sure the graphic card is set to 16 or 32 bit color depth and Microsoft's
Virtual Machine is installed on your computer.
MPEG decoder installation
If no video images are displayed when MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 is selected, it may be
necessary to install a current MPEG decoder. This software is on the VCS CD
included with the package.
– Insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive of the computer. The CD should start
automatically. If the CD does not start automatically, open the root directory of
the CD in Windows Explorer and double click MPEGAx.exe.
– Follow the instructions on the screen.
