Top of the Screen
- [X] (top-right corner): Click this to cancel this
operation, and discard any changes.
- Connection Name: Enter a suitable
name/identifier for this site/server. (This is
'read-only' once set.)
- IP Address: Enter the actual IP address for this
remote server. Format: "###.###.###.###".
- Port Number: Enter the actual IP address for
this server.
- New IP Address: To change an existing IP
address, enter the new one here. Format:
###.###.###.###.
- New Port Number: To change an existing Port
Number, enter the new one here.
Port Detail: This must match the "HTTP Server
Port" for this remote server. Typically "80".
Locator: (At that PC), ÖWindows Control Panel,
ÖDSR Configuration, ÖRemote Service Manager.
Read-Only: The Connection Name cannot be
changed. If you wish to change this, [Add] it as a
new server, and then delete the old one.
- Streaming Mode: This determines how
streaming playback will operate when playing a
remote file.
• Time Based: File playback duration maintained
(regardless of your connection speed). Individual
frames may be dropped.
• Frame Based: Every frame will be shown no matter
how long it takes.
Middle of the Screen
- Connection Bandwidth: This sets the
streaming playback image quality and frame rate
as suitable for your type of connection. Indicate
your connection speed (Low for dial-up; Medium
for cable/DSL; High for a network (LAN)
connection).
Modems: Due to speed and reliability
considerations, dial-up connections are NOT
recommended. Use a faster connection if you
have a choice.
- (•) Customize: This expands the bottom of the
screen to access custom bandwidth parameters
Customize Configuration
Quality: Sets the relative amount of video detail to
be included in non-key frames;
Data Rate: This sets the maximum video data
transmission rate to be used by the connections
with this specific NetVision video server;
Keyframe every (x) seconds: This determines how
often a complete frame is sent compared to only
changes from the previous frame. Lower values
provide better image quality and require more
bandwidth.
- [OK]: Select this to save your settings.
Tip: You can change most settings later by
selecting [Modify] in the Server Management
screen (or delete a Video Server via [Remove] ).
