Administration

Delete

Available only when an existing configuration is selected. Lets you
delete the selected configuration. You will be asked to confirm that
you want to delete the configuration.

Copy...

Available only when an existing configuration is selected. Lets you
copy the selected configuration, edit it as required and save it under
a new name. Editing and saving takes place in the Create
Configuration
window.

This may be especially relevant if you require two or more
near-identical configurations, in which case you can base
subsequent configurations on an existing one, thus minimizing your
workload.

Event groups

The Event group section lets you associate the source with an
event group or several event groups. The event group can then
trigger actions through generic events defined in Milestone XProtect
Enterprise or Milestone XProtect ProfessionalXProtect Professional.

Some of the content of the Create/Edit Source window is specific
for the source you have chosen.

Troy Box Sources

The Troy Box properties section lets you specify where to contact
the Troy box on your network. The following field is available:

Host name/address: Lets you specify host name or IP address of
the Troy box.

Tip: You do not need to specify a port number. XProtect Transact
knows that Troy boxes always communicate through port 9100.

TCP XML or TCP Client
Sources

The TCP port properties section lets you specify settings related
to the TCP port on which the TCP XML or TCP client provider will
be acting as source. The following fields are available:

Host name/address: Lets you specify host name or IP address of
the TCP XML or TCP client provider.

Port: Lets you specify the port number on which communication
with the TCP XML or TCP client source takes place.

Analytics XProtect Transact

Service port: This must be a unique number of your own choosing.

Source XSD File: Here you attach an XSD file to the source
configuration. The XSD files describe which XML format that can be
saved in XProtect Transact using the source. If no XSD file is
connected to the source, the provider will accept all valid XML. You
can use any XSD and it is possible to use more than one at a time.

Managing configurations

You define and edit the configurations of sources from the Sources tab in the XProtect Transact
Administrator
window.
