Description
Enable internet access
Select the check box if the server should be accessible from the
internet through a router or firewall. If you select this option, also
specify the public (“outside”) IP address and port number in the
following fields. When using public access, the router or firewall
used must be configured so requests sent to the public IP address
and port are forwarded to the local (“inside”) IP address and port of
the Milestone Husky product server.
Internet address
Lets you specify a public IP address or hostname for use when the
Milestone Husky product server should be available from the
internet.
Internet port
Specify a port number for use when the Milestone Husky product
should be available from the Internet. The default port number is 80.
You can change the port number if needed.
Max. number of clients
You can limit the number of clients allowed to connect at the same
time. Depending on your Milestone Husky product configuration and
the performance of the hardware and network used, limiting the
number of simultaneously connected clients may help reduce
server load. If more than the allowed number of simultaneously
connected clients attempt to log in, only the allowed number of
clients will be allowed access. Any clients in excess of the allowed
number will receive an error message when attempting to log in.
By default, a maximum of ten simultaneously connected clients are
allowed. To specify a different maximum number, simply overwrite
the value.
Tip: To allow an unlimited number of simultaneously connected
access clients, type 0 (zero) in the Max. number of clients field.
A four-minute session timeout period applies for client sessions on
Milestone Husky product. In many cases, client users may not
notice this at all. However, the session timeout period will be very
evident if you set the Max. number of clients value to 1. When that
is the case, and the single allowed client user logs out, four minutes
must pass before it will be possible to log in again.
Local IP ranges
You can specify IP address ranges which Milestone Husky product should recognize as coming from a
local network. This can be relevant if different subnets are used across your local network.
1. Click the Add button.
2. In the Start Address column, specify the first IP address in the range.
3. In the End Address column, specify the last IP address in the range.
4. Repeat if you want to add other local IP address ranges.
