Server access
When you configure server access (on page 135) (that is clients' access to the system server), specify
the following:
Name of the XProtect Essential server as it will appear in clients.
Client users with rights to configure their clients will see the name of
the server when they create views in their clients.
Port number to use for communication between clients and the
surveillance server. The default port number is 80; you can change
the port number if port 80 is used for other purposes in your
organization.
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 XProtect Essential server.
Specify a public IP address or hostname for use when the system
server should be available from the Internet.
Specify a port number for use when the system should be available
from the Internet. The default port number is 80. You can change
the port number if needed.
You can limit the number of clients allowed to connect at the same
time. Depending on your XProtect Essential 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
XProtect Essential. 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.
