Remote Station: Initiate an
Audio Monitoring Session
To begin monitoring audio from a Video
Server, you need to activate the 'Audio Client',
and log-on to the desired Video Server.
Tip: Multiple audio sessions can be set up if you
will be monitoring more than one Video Server.
Note: This feature is NOT supported through the
small remote module software.
Alarm_Alerts: If using the alarm-alert feature at the
same time, a WAV file selected at the Video Server will
play at the remote station when the alarm-alert is
received (in addition to a WAV file selected at the
remote station (if applicable). Related Topics

A) Start the NetVision Remote
Station software, and log in
(with a username and
password that is registered at
the server). Then, click the 'Audio
Client' symbol (near the bottom-right).
If nothing seems to happen: Minimize the remote
station desktop to ensure the audio monitor is not
'behind' it.
B) When the screen appears, enter (or
select) the IP address of the desired
Video Server, and click [Logon].
Tip: Watch for the "Audio Source" box to change
to white, and [Logon] to change to [Logoff].
Note: If nothing seems to happen (or you get an
error), ensure the Video Server is on-line, re-check
your network/connection, and then try again.
