If you installed the Viewer and Storage Server on separate PC, specify an IP address of Storage Server and connect Viewer to the Storage Server.

1. Select [Use IP address] from the drop-down menu.

2. Click [Connect].

3. Enter the IP address or host name of the Master Storage Server in [Host Name or IP], and the port number in [Port].

4. Click [Connect].

5. Enter your [User Name] and [Password], and then click [Login].

Note

• If you use a proxy server, you should change the Internet option settings in the following procedure:

1. Select [Start] > [Control Panel] > [Network and Internet] > [Internet Options].

2. Select the Connection tab.

3. Click LAN settings.

Change the proxy server settings.

• If using a proxy server between a Viewer and a Storage Server, it should not perform response buffering. The Proxy Server which is configured to perform response buffering may lead to delays in sending small amounts of data (such as events) from the Storage Server to the Viewer. You cannot use the Apache proxy server since it perform response buffering.
• You cannot send or receive audio when using a proxy server.

Tip

The dialog for entering the IP address will also be displayed even when connection to the Storage Server failed

When the Viewer accesses to a Master Storage Server which has not been set up with camera server information, the entire Viewing Screen is initially blank as shown below. You should configure the Viewer using the [Configuration and Preferences] screen.

Note

It is strongly recommended that only one Administrator perform configuration on each network.
