One-Shot Fast Configuration Via Ftp - Vivotek IP3111 User Manual

One-shot fast configuration via FTP

For quick setup of Network Camera, the administrator can utilize the default CONFIG.INI
that may be downloaded from the FTP daemon of Network Camera. 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.
Then administrators only need to modify necessary fields and then upload the file to
Network Camera with the file name "CONFIG.INI". To reduce error in interpretation, it is
recommended that the downloaded template CONFIG.INI be modified using the options
following each item in the sample below. The file will include seven categories: [SYSTEM],
[NETWORK], [VIDEO], [SERIAL], [ALERT],and [LAYOUT]. 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 the administrator, i.e. "root".
Since the password when logging into FTP is not encrypted, it is recommended to use the
Web instead of FTP to configure the system afterwards. If some parameters other than the
network or camera drivers are changed, administrators can set <reset system> to NO to
avoid resetting the system. It will automatically return to YES during the next downloading
of CONFIG.INI.
A sample CONFIG.INI is attached below. The italic text following each line describes the
format of the field and the bold italic characters are the possible values of each field.
