iSCSI Media

If you want to use an iSCSI system as a recording medium, you must set up a connection to the required iSCSI system and set the configuration parameters.

NOTICE!

i The iSCSI storage system selected must be available on the network and completely set up. Amongst other things, it must have an IP address and be divided into logical drives (LUN).

1.Enter the IP address of the required iSCSI destination in the iSCSI IP address field.

2.If the iSCSI destination is password protected, enter this into the Password field.

3.Click the Read button. The connection to the IP address will be established. In the Storage overview field, you can see the corresponding logical drives.

Activating and Configuring Storage Media

The storage overview displays the available storage media. You can select individual iSCSI drives and transfer these to the Managed storage media list. You can activate the storage media in this list and configure them for storage.

CAUTION!

Each storage medium can only be associated with one user. If a storage medium is already

! being used by another user, you can decouple the user and connect the drive with the module. Before decoupling, make absolutely sure that the previous user no longer needs the storage medium.

1. In the Storage overview section, double-click an ISCSI LUN. The medium is then added to the Managed storage media list. In the Status column, newly added media are indicated by the status Not active.

2. Click the Set button to activate all media in the Managed storage media list. In the Status column, these are indicated by the status Online.

3. Check the box in the Rec. 1 or Rec. 2 column to specify which data stream should be recorded on the storage media selected. Rec. 1 stores Stream 1, Rec. 2 stores Stream 2.

4. Check the boxes for the Overwrite older recordings option to specify which older recordings can be overwritten once the available memory capacity has been used. Recording 1 corresponds to Stream 1, Recording 2 corresponds to Stream 2.

CAUTION!

If older recordings are not allowed to be overwritten when the available memory capacity has

! been used, the recording in question will be stopped. You can specify limitations for overwriting old recordings by configuring the retention time (see Section 5.23 Advanced Mode: Retention Time, page 52).

Formatting Storage Media

You can delete all recordings on a storage medium at any time.

CAUTION!

! Check the recordings before deleting and back up important sequences on the computer's hard drive.

1. Click a storage medium in the Managed storage media list to select it.

2. Click the Edit button below the list. A new window will open.

3. Click the Formatting button to delete all recordings in the storage medium.

4. Click OK to close the window.
