Milestone Central 3.7 - Manual (Page 34)

Milestone XProtect 3.7; Administrator’s Manual
Client: Surveillance Servers
Before XProtect Central is able to connect to XProtect Corporate, XProtect Enterprise or XProtect
Professional servers, the servers must be defined through the XProtect Central Client. When a
server has been defined, you will automatically have access to information from cameras and other
devices connected to the server.
Defining a New Server
To define a server, do the following:
1. In the Client’s Navigation section, right-click the Servers
entry, and select New... This will open the Server Connection
dialog.
Tip: You are also able to group servers in a folder structure
of your choice (see page 37); when that is case, simply
right-click the required folder.
2. In the Server Connection dialog’s Server address field,
specify the required server’s IP address (example:
123.123.123.123) or hostname (example: ourserver).
3. In the Server type list, select the type of server you want to establish a connection to:
XProtect Enterprise/XProtect Professional or XProtect Corporate.
4. In the Authentication: Central / Status API section, specify the Port, User name and
Password used for the interface between the server and XProtect Central.
• If connecting to an XProtect Enterprise or XProtect Professional server:
The information in the Port (default port number is 1237), User name, and
Password fields must match exactly what has been specified on the XProtect
Enterprise server.
How to verify this if using XProtect Enterprise or XProtect Professional version 7.0
or later:
a. Open the XProtect Enterprise or XProtect Professional server's Management
Application.
b. In the Management Application's navigation pane, expand Advanced
Configuration, right-click Central, and select Properties.
c. Make sure that Enable Milestone XProtect Central connections is selected.
d. The value in the Login name field must match the value in the User name
field on XProtect Central.
e. The value in the Password field must match the value in the Password field
on XProtect Central.
f. The value in the Port field must match the value in the Port field on
XProtect Central. Normally, port 1237 is used.
