First access to Video Server

When connecting to Video Server for the first time, administrators should check security and network settings on the configuration page. For complete protection from illegal usage, Video Server provides two privileges and always needs user name and password before access. The standard level is the USER mode that consists of twenty user profiles. Each user is able to access Video Server except for system configuration. The twenty user profiles are also maintained by the administrator. The highest level is ROOT mode that only opens to administrators for initial setup, system configuration, user administration and software upgrade. The user name of the administrator is internally assigned to “root”.

When connecting to Video Server, users will be requested for user name and password by an authentication message window. A root password, identical to the Video Server's MAC address, is needed for the initial access to a newly installed Video Server. The administrator must change the root password immediately after the initial installation to ensure security. The new root password should be well memorized since there is no way to retrieve or recover it. After changing the password, the browser will display an authentication window again to ask for the new password.

The other important part is network settings. The software configuration above makes Video Server easily accessed through local networks. However administrators should review the network settings on the configuration page according to the existing service. The safe and easy way is to compare the network settings with another PC or workstation in the same network.

The software installation in the previous section only set the host IP address and default subnet mask as 255.255.255.0. Administrators should change the subnet mask if it differs from the one provided by server. Administrators should also fill in the default gateway, primary and secondary domain name servers if necessary.

By default Video Server will need administrator's installation every time it reboots. If the network settings are sure to work all the time, disable the install option if this IP address is already reserved for this Video Server. Clearing this option will skip the installation procedure during the next power-up and use the previous settings. If the install option stays checked, Video Server will perform the installation procedure every time the system boots up.

Details about configurations are described in the "How to Use" section. Related figures are attached for easy reference.
