VPort 2310 User’s Manual | System Configuration |
Factory default
This function is used to restore the Video Server to its factory default settings, so that any changes that were made previously will be lost. After clicking OK, the system will restart. Note that it will take some time for the restore action to finish. You will need to run the software installation program to set up the network.
System Configuration Via FTP
CONFIG.INI
FTP can be used to configure VPort 2310 Video Server much more quickly than configuring from web browser, particularly when configuring multiple Video Servers. To configure a Video Server via FTP, first download the parameter file, CONFIG.INI, customize each field, and then upload the file to the Video Server to install the new settings. To log into the FTP daemon, enter “root” as the user name, and use the same password used when connecting to the Web server. The MAC address (no dashes, all upper case) of FTP Server is the default password.
The CONFIG.INI file has eight categories: [SYSTEM], [LAYOUT], [NETWORK], [VIDEO], [SERIAL], [ALERT], and [DEMO]. The category names in square brackets should be in upper case. The item names in angle braces should be in lower case. Some items related to disable/enable should use the keywords “YES”/“NO”. The number zero (0) entered in <user name> and <user password> is for administrators, i.e. “root”. Video Server will restart automatically as soon as the file is uploaded and accepted. If administrators want to cancel the reboot procedure after transferring config.ini via FTP, then set the first item, <reset system>, to NO. But it will take effect only once, and show YES in the download config.ini file the next time.
A sample CONFIG.INI is shown in the table below. The text in italics describes the characteristics
