Remote Configuration 
NetVision's remote configuration feature allows 
authorized remote users, to perform many 
configuration tasks on a Video Server using 
only their web-browser software (must have 
access to the internet or to the Video Server 
through a network--via IP). 
To access this feature from any PC with 
access to the internet, open your web-browser, 
and then use (only) the IP address of the 
Video Server in place of a web site address. 
When the login screen appears, enter a 
remote username and password that is 
registered at the specific Video Server (with 
access to this feature).
