Logging in At a Remote Station
When you start the remote station software,

password. These are passed to the specific
Video Server during the connection process.
Tip: Press Tab in between, and Enter (or OK)
when finished.
Notes: User names, passwords, and allowed
permissions are set up at each Video Server.
Video Servers can also provide free access to
remote users (although you must enter a sample
username and password after starting the remote
station software).
Usernames are also referenced when managing
remote user connections from a Video Server.
With the small remote module software, you enter
your name and/or password only when connecting
(where applicable).

Video Server: Start-up and
Logging In
5.2.1
Power Up and Windows Log In
Video Servers typically come pre-set to start
up automatically after a power failure and
restoral (including automatic Windows log in).
To start a Video Server the first time, or after a
manual shut-down, look for a power switch on
the back (turn this on), and another one on the
front (push on, and release).
Network Access: For a new Video Server, contact
your network administrator to have the Video Server
PC given login privileges on your network.

Software (only)
If the NetVision software is shut down at a
Video Server, you can restart it as follows:
From the Windows Start menu, select
Programs, NetVision, and NetVision.
Auto-Startup: Video Servers typically come pre-
set to have the NetVision software start
automatically whenever the PC is re-started (and
after a power failure).
Quick-Access: Similarly, you can provide easier
access to any program or Control Panel item by
dragging its shortcut to the Windows desktop
(anywhere) or to the taskbar (near the left side).
Security Key Not Found / Restricted Mode error:
This means only that your Video Server supports
more capture boards than are presently installed
(and/or you are trying to use an unsupported type of
capture board).
