General Video Server 
Settings 
14.1 
Startup / Logoff Options 
A number of start-up/logoff options are 
available at Video Server PCs. 
TechTip: These settings do not affect features to 
be available at remote surveillance stations. 
Locator: (Logged in at the Video Server as 
a "Supervisor"), 
Select: [Utility], then [Option Setting]. 
Select Operation Setting , and then make 
your desired selections: 
-------------------------------------------------- 
On Next Startup: 
• Status Restore
: Select this if you want 
viewing / recording mode selections to be 
retained for use during the next login. 
(This also applies to the “At Logoff” 
selections, to follow/below). 
• Auto Login
: Select this if you want to skip 
having to logon when the Video Server 
software is started (and select to be logged 
in as "Operator" or "Super"). 
Caution: This bypasses password protection for 
the Video Server software. Auto-logon as "Super" 
gives full access for anyone with authority to use the 
PC (as per Windows 2000/XP permissions). 
BIOS and Windows Setup: Video Servers are 
typically pre-set at the factory to automatically 
restart after a power failure. 
At Logoff: Select the items that you wish to 
remain in effect at the Video Server when the 
operator logs off (video display, manual 
recording, PTZ control). 
TechTip: If you need to disable remote viewing 
through a dial-up connection, disconnect or disable 
the modem. 
Allow Operator to Exit: Select this to allow 
persons logged in as "Operator" to be able to 
shut down the software. (Otherwise, the [Exit] 
button is available only when logged on as a 
"Supervisor".) 
Date/Time Display: 12-hour (with AM/PM) 
versus 24-hour time display. 
-------------------------------------------------- 
When finished, click [OK], and then 
[Close] the utility menu. 
14.2 
Miscellaneous Settings 
A number of miscellaneous settings are 
provided. 
Locator: At the Video Server PC (will 
prompt for "Supervisor" login), 
Select: (Windows task bar) Start, Settings, 
Control Panel, DSR Configuration. 
Desktop Link: There should also be a link to this on 
your desktop called "NetVision Configuration". 
Tips: If you cannot access the Windows task bar, 
press Ctrl-Esc (or your 'Windows' key). To view the 
names for items on the task bar, click a blank area on 
the bar, and then 'hover' your mouse pointer over each 
item. 
Logon as a "Supervisor" when prompted. 
Then, double-click Optional Features Setup 
in the list. When the screen appears, select 
Misc. , and then make your desired 
selection(s).
