One-Shot Fast Configuration Via Ftp - 4xem IPVS1A User Manual

One-shot fast configuration via FTP

For quick setup of Video Server, the administrator can utilize the default CONFIG.INI that may be
downloaded from the FTP daemon of Video Server. 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 Video Server
is the password for the initial access.
Then administrators only need to modify necessary fields and then upload the file to Video Server 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. T he file
will include seven categories: [SYST EM], [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.
