All network addresses or
Specified network addresses
Specify whether events from all IP addresses/host names are
accepted, or only events from IP addresses/host names specified in
a list
—see the following.
In the Address list specify a list of trusted IP addresses/host names
that you want this service to recognize. The list is used to filter
incoming data so that only events from certain IP addresses/host
names are allowed. Both Domain Name System (DNS) and IPv4
address formats can be used in the list.
You have two ways of adding addresses to the list: either manually
or by importing an external list of addresses.
Manual entering: type the required IP address/host name in the
address list. Repeat for each required address.
Import
Click the Import... button to browse for the required external list of
addresses. To import an external list, the list must be saved in a .txt
file format and each IP address or host name must appear on a
separate line in the file. Windows’ simple text editor Microsoft
Notepad is an excellent tool for creating such .txt files.
Event Server Settings
Specify the following Event Server settings:
Name Description
Keep closed alarms for
Specify the number of days for which to keep closed alarms, that is
alarms in the states Closed, Ignore, and Reject. This is normally
set to a low number, such as three days, but you can define any
number up to 99999 days, server space permitting. You can use the
value 0 to indicate keep closed alarms indefinitely (server space
permitting).
Keep all other alarms for
Specify the number of days for which to keep all other alarms,
meaning alarms not in the states Closed, Ignore, and Reject. This
is normally set to a somewhat higher number, such as 30 days, but
you can define any number up to 99999 days, server space
permitting. You can use the value 0 to indicate that you want to
keep all other alarms indefinitely, server space permitting.
IMPORTANT: Alarms often have associated video recordings.
While the alarm information itself is stored on the event server, the
associated video recordings are fetched from the relevant
surveillance system server when users wish to view them.
Therefore, if it is vital that you have access to video recordings from
all your alarms, make sure that video recordings from relevant
cameras are stored on relevant surveillance system servers for at
least as long as you intend to keep alarms on the event server.
Keep logs for
Specify the number of days for which to keep the Alarms log.
Default is 30 days. The value of 0 indicates that you want to keep
logs indefinitely (server space permitting).
