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 MAC address 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. 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.
