Launching the DSWebview Software
This section describes how to launch the DSWebview software so that you may begin using it to
manage DS appliances and target devices.
NOTE: A warning message will appear and some software features may not be available if the version numbers of
the DSView management software and DSAuth Server software are not compatible. This occurs when the
DSView management software is launched. If the warning message appears, you may wish to upgrade either the
DSView management software or DSAuth Server software. See Chapter 2 for information on software installation.
To access a DSWebview Server via the web:
1. Within your web browser, enter the address for the DSWebview Server.
2. When the login screen appears, enter your login name, password, authentication server and
domain name (when applicable). This information is available from your network Administrator.
NOTE: Browser cookies must be enabled and the user must accept certificates for access. The Java runtime
plug-in must be enabled for the browser being used for the DSWebview software interface.
3. When you are logged in, the web page displays.
Accessing Target Devices
You may access one or more target devices within a DS series appliance at the same time. To
access multiple target devices, place your cursor over a port and select Connect from the floating
option menu for every port that you wish to display. Windows may be tiled or cascaded as
you choose.
NOTE: A message box will display if an attempt is made to open a Video Viewer window while the DSRIQ
module attached to the port is being FLASH upgraded.
NOTE: When tiling windows from the Node Manager, each remote session must be in Full Scale mode in order
for windows to tile properly. By default, the scaling mode is specified as Auto Scale. To change the scaling mode,
select View - Scaling - Full Scale in the Video Viewer window.
