Troubleshooting Guide

Search

Searches take a long time. How can I decrease the time it takes to search for systems?

You can decrease the amount of time Search takes by limiting the range to only the addresses that your endpoints are actually using. The time it takes to search a range is linear, and depends on the speed of your server, and the bandwidth of your network. Therefore, it takes twice as long to search a range of 200 addresses as it does to search a range of 100 addresses.

Can I search across multiple subnets?

Yes, as long as the subnets are contiguous.

The search function can not find all the video endpoints on our company wide network.

Here are the most likely reasons why the search function cannot find all the video endpoints

Search will only find systems that have not already been added to the list

*Search will not find systems that are turned off or disconnected from the network

Search may not find systems that are behind a firewall or within a network using Network Address Translation (NAT)

Adding Systems

When I performed the function Add System, my video endpoint failed to add onto the System list.

This can be caused by:

1.Entering the incorrect IP address of the video endpoint.

2.Trying to add a video endpoint when it is turned off.

3.Trying to add a video endpoint that has a password set.

If the message you get says “Could not add system”, then either the IP address is incorrect, or the video endpoint is not responding. Try pinging the IP address of the video endpoint. If ping gets a reply, try to access the video endpoint’s internal web server by entering its address in a browser window.

If the message you get says “You did not have the correct password for the system”, then either the video endpoint has a password set, and you did not enter a password in the Add System window, or the password you entered is not the same as the password on the video endpoint. Verify that you have the correct password (Admin Password) for the video endpoint you are trying to add.

Do I have to go to every video endpoint and enter the IP address of the Global

Management System Server to manage the these endpoints?

If your video endpoint is on the LAN and you have added the system to the Global Management System database, the IP address of the server will be sent to the system.
