2. Enter the IP address of the TFTP server where the update resides.
3. If you wish to make updates mandatory, click the Update is mandatory checkbox. If Update is
not selected, the DS user must upgrade the DSView management software manually. See
Chapter 2 for more information.
When a DS user with an older version of the DS Management Software suite logs into the
system, the user will receive an upgrade prompt. Selecting Yes will begin the upgrade process.
If the upgrade is mandatory, DS users with older versions of the DS Management Software
suite will not be able to access the system until the upgrade is performed.
Audit log tab settings
Automatic creation and deletion of audit logs
Administrators may click Enable SNMP Trap Log in the Audit Log tab to allow the DSView
system to create a log of SNMP trap information that may be reviewed at a later time.
Administrators may specify the following:
• How long the audit log file is stored before it is deleted. If you do not wish to have log files
automatically deleted, enter a 0 in the provided field.
• The community containing the SNMP traps whose information will be written to the audit log.
• The directory where the audit log file is stored (default is root).
NOTE: Allowing log files to build for an extended period may consume a great deal of disk space. Routine
deletion is recommended.
NOTE: When changing the location of the Audit log, the Administrator must make sure that the full path chosen
exists, is accessible to both the primary and backup DSAuth Servers and is mapped to the same letter for both
machines. If the log file is moved to a location other than the local system, both the primary and backup DSAuth
Servers will use the same location for the files.
Local Options tab settings
Local Video Session Window Timeout
A local session will time-out if there has been no activity in a Video Viewer window for a specified
time. An Administrator may set the session time-out value by selecting the Connections tab and
specifying a global session time-out setting.
You may override this value within the DSView management software by using a remote session
time-out value. If you specify a new time-out value, it will be used the next time the DSView
management software is started.
To change the global session time-out setting:
NOTE: You must have Administrator privileges to change the global time-out setting.
