Setup: Web Interface
One of the four top level tabbed menus is Setup. The Setup pages present the DASDEC II server configuration sub-
options as a set of "radio buttons'. Only one radio button can be selected at a time. In left to right order the buttons are:
At the first login, before the DASDEC II can be used, the server must be set up and pre-configured. The recommended
order is to first set up the Server, then Network, Time, Users, Email, Audio, Video/CG, Decoder, Encoder, Net Alerts,
GPIO, Printer and Alert Storage. The subsequent manual sections are presented in this order. Each one reviews
information on the web page and provides additional information.
You may wish to review Chapter 4.3 DASDEC II Page Organization, Web Interface and Navigation; Chapter 3.3.4 Web
Interface and Navigation, and Chapter 3.3.4.1 Back and Refresh Buttons. For pages with an Button, refer
to Chapter 3.3.5 How to Make Changes and Update.
4.1 Setup > Server: Setup Server
Before the DASDEC II can be used, the server must be pre-configured. Go to Setup > Server. There are three tabbed
sub-pages on the Setup > Server page. Only one of these, the Server Main/License page, needs to be reviewed during
initial configuration. The other two pages, Configuration Mgmt and Upgrade, support making and installing backups of the
Server Configuration and Server Software Upgrade. The three sections that follow review all three sub-pages under
Setup > Server.
4.1.1 Main/License: Server Name & License Key Configuration
Use this page to set the Web Interface name, enable licensed features and restart the server. There are two
main sections on this page: DASDEC -1EN Platform ID and License Key Configuration. The first task is to check
the License Key configuration. The core DASDEC software will only run if it has been enabled using a Master
license key. Most DASDECs are delivered pre-configured in the factory, so this task already may be complete.
Reboot Server?: This option is a full system reboot. The unit will power down and go through the entire boot
process when it starts back up automatically.
Power Off Server?: This option powers down the DASDEC.
NOTE: To restart the DASDEC II server software, click the button at bottom of this
page. This is used during License Key configuration. It can also be used at any time the DASDEC II
appears to be functioning incorrectly. A confirmation page is displayed before the restart is actually
run. All logged-on users will be forced out of the system and will be required to log back in. Alert
decoding will be temporarily paused during the restart. This is not a system reboot, but nonetheless:
USE the Restart Server OPTION WITH CARE!
