System overview

Immediately after you install your system, the welcome page provides access to XProtect Smart Client
in all languages. You can also download XProtectSmart Client in 32- or 64-bit if you run a 64-bit
operating system and in 32-bit if you run a 32-bit operating system. This initial look of the welcome
page is automatically provided through XProtect Download Manager's default configuration.

Default configuration of XProtect Download Manager

XProtect Download Manager has a default configuration. This ensures that your organization's users
can access standard features without the surveillance system administrator having to set up anything.
The XProtect Download Manager configuration is represented in a tree structure.

Download Manager's tree structure explained:

The first level of the tree structure indicates that you are working with a system.

The second level indicates that this is the default setup.

The third level refers to the languages in which the welcome page is available. In the
example, the welcome page is available in a dozen languages (English, Arabic, Danish, Dutch,
French, and more).

The fourth level refers to the features that you can make available to users. For example, you
could limit these features to XProtect Smart Client.

The fifth level ( 5 ) refers to particular versions of each feature, for example, version 4.0, 32-
bit, and more that you can make available to users.

The sixth level ( 6 ) refers to the language versions of the features which can be made
available to users. For XProtect Smart Client, which is only available with all languages
embedded, the only option is All Languages.

The fact that only standard features are initially available helps reduce installation time and save
space on the server. There is no need to have a feature or language version available on the server if
nobody is going to use it. You can make more features and/or languages available if you need to.

Making new features available

When you install new features, these are by default selected in XProtect Download Manager and
immediately available to users through the welcome page.

You can always show or hide features on the welcome page by selecting or clearing check boxes in
the tree structure. You can change the sequence in which features and languages are displayed on
the welcome page by dragging items and dropping them in the relevant position.

Hiding and removing features

You can remove features in several ways:

You can hide features from the welcome page by clearing check boxes in XProtect Download
Manager's tree structure. If you do this, the features are still installed on the surveillance system
server, and by selecting check boxes in the tree structure, you can quickly make the features available
again.

You can remove features which have previously been made available through XProtect Download
Manager. This removes the installation of the features on the surveillance system server. The features
disappear from XProtect Download Manager, but installation files for the features are kept in the
