to the desired source devices. Refer to User Groups - Add a New User Group for instructions.
f. Add user accounts: Create a user account for each operator who will be viewing Server A’s video from Server B. To enable an

server. Refer to Server Ties for information on using remote server devices and alarms and events in scripts.
Remote server drivers appear as device drivers in the Object Browser, and are added, edited, and deleted the same way device drivers
are. There is a remote server driver for each server that is running.
