see the separate Enterprise documentation.

Prerequisites – Corporate The XProtect Transact master server must be located on the same
computer as the Corporate management server. See Integrating with Milestone XProtect
Corporate on page for more information.
Once XProtect Transact is installed and the master/slave relationship defined, the surveillance master
server sends information to XProtect Smart Clients about how to connect to its XProtect Transact
master and slave servers. Then XProtect Smart Clients and the XProtect Transact servers
communicate directly with each other for fastest updates.
If you change a XProtect Transact slave's server service settings in XProtect Transact Server Service
Configuration menu, you must ask the XProtect Smart Client users to log out and in of their XProtect
Smart Clients to reload the slave's server service settings so that the data feed to the XProtect Smart
Clients can continue.
A XProtect Transact server can be slave of any number of XProtect Transact master servers. It is a
good idea to define more masters so you have transaction data redundancy. If the primary XProtect
Transact master server for some reason should need maintenance, you can continue monitoring
transaction data through one of the other XProtect Transact master servers.
