Tip: If required, an IP address range can include only one IP address (example: 192.168.10.1-
192.168.10.1).
Language support and XML encoding
You can select the language/character set that should be used by your system's server and clients.
Component Requirement
Character encoding/Language
Select required language/character set.
Example: If the surveillance server runs a Japanese version of
Windows, select Japanese. Provided access clients also use a
Japanese version of Windows, this will ensure that the correct
language and character encoding is used in clients' communication
with the server. If you are using a master/slave setup, remember to
specify the same language/character set on all relevant servers.
Master/Slave
About master and slave
You can create a master/slave setup of your system servers. A master/slave setup allows remote
users to transparently connect to more than one server at the same time. When remote users connect
to the master server, they instantly get access to the slave servers as well.
You can designate one server per SLC (Software License Code) as master servers and an unlimited
number of slave servers. To check the connection of your slave servers, you can verify the connection
to your slaves by clicking Update Status and let the system report the number of connected slaves
back to you.
About adding a slave server

To add a slave server, expand Advanced Configuration, right-click Master/Slave > Add New
Slave Server, then specify slave server properties. You can also add slave servers from the
Master/Slave Properties window by clicking Add.
Instead of specifying a host name when you add a slave server, you can specify the IP address of the
slave server. Type in the IP address in the Address field when you add the slave server. Remember
you must use the local IP address of the slave server if you are on a local network.
Before you start using your master/slave setup, remember to verify that:

You have defined the relevant users on the master server as well as on each of the slave
servers.

You have enabled public access has been enabled on all involved servers, and ports mapped
accordingly in the routers or firewalls used, if you want to access the slave servers from the
Internet.
When you use a master/slave setup, you must define remote users and their rights must be defined in
the Users section on the master server as well as on each of the slave servers. Only cameras to
