Adding Users

Click Add to add a new user. The following fields must then be completed:

User Name - Must contain at least one, but not more than fourteen characters.

Password - Must contain at least one, but not more than eight characters.

Confirm Password - Repeat the above password here.

User Group - Check the appropriate box to define the access rights and privileges for the new user, where the level of access can be described as follows:

Viewer - Provides the lowest level of access, which only allows the user to see live images. If the controls for a PTZ unit and/or the Trigger Event button are displayed on the application page, then a user with viewing rights will also be able to use these.

Operator - An Operator has access to all of the settings not included in the System Options, that is, he/she can add and edit settings for event types, upload servers, audio and video, etc.

Administrator - An Administrator has unrestricted access to the whole server and can consequently determine the registration of all other users.

After making the settings for the new user, click the OK button.

Editing and Deleting Users

To edit or delete a user, highlight the name in the User list and click the Modify or Delete button.

Firewall Settings

The built-in firewall protects your AXIS 250S against unauthorized access. To restrict access, you can add IP addresses to the list of allowed addresses - no others will be permitted access.

Enable/Disable Firewall - Click this button to enable or disable the firewall function.

Allowed IP Addresses - This list box shows the currently configured IP addresses.

Adding Allowed IP Addresses

IP Address - Add a single IP address or a whole range of addresses. This last option can be useful if you have a large number of IP addresses that all need access to the MPEG-2 Video Server. To add a range of addresses type e.g. 192.168.0.* This will add all the addresses in the range 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.0.255. Up to 256 allowed IP addresses can be specified.
