Bosch Appliances VIP X1 manual Destination password, Remote port, SSL encryption

VIP X1 Installation and Operating Manual EN 71

Destination password:

If the remote station is password protected, enter the password here.

You can save up to ten target IP-addresses on this page. This means that also only ten passwords for connections can be defined here. If more than ten con- nections are necessary, for example when connections are initiated by a control- ling system, such as VIDOS or Bosch Video Management System, you can define a general password. The VIP X1 can make connections with this general password to all devices protected by that same password. In such cases, pro- ceed as follows:

–Select 10 in the Number of destination IP address list box.

–Enter 0.0.0.0 in the Destination IP address field.

–Enter the password in the Destination password field.

–Set the user password of all the devices to be connected to this password.

Note

Setting target 10 to the destination IP address 0.0.0.0 will override its func- tion as the tenth address to try for auto-connect by the VIP X1 on alarm. Instead the parameter is used only to store the general password.

Remote port:

Choose the browser-port, depending on the network configuration. Port 443 for HTTPS connections is only available if the On option in SSL encryption is active.

SSL encryption:

SSL encryption can be used to protect data, such as the password, used for con- nection establishment. If you activate the On option, only encrypted ports are available for the Remote port parameter.

Note

SSL encryption must be activated and configured on both sides of a con- nection. The appropriate certificates must also have been uploaded to the VIP X1 (see page 99).

You can configure and activate encryption for media data (video, audio, meta- data) on the Encryption page (see page 91).
