Clicking on "System Configuration -> System Settings" in the navigation bar
on the left side of the screen allows the user to configure items describe in
Table 2-7.
Auto discovery is suitable for clustering several RSS 2000 devices on a
single subnet. When clustering devices, the RSS 2000 will automatically
find all other RSS 2000 devices on the same subnet and possessing the
same group name configured in the "Clustering group name" settings
and will make those devices members of its own group. Any device in a
group can play back files stored on other devices in the same group.
Manual configuration is suitable for clustering RSS 2000 devices on
different subnets. The master/slave relationship between the clustered
RSS 2000 devices will now be configured in accordance with their actual
network linkage, that is, configure one RSS 2000 device which is
accessible via router to all of other RSS 2000 devices as a master device,
and others are slave devices. In these circumstances, a device can access
the master RSS 2000 and play back recordings stored on the master and
other clients.
