Servers

For setting up servers in the Eocortex Configurator application, go to the Servers tab

The list of servers is shown in the left part of the Servers tab. At the top of this list, the search field that allows to find the server by name or IP address is available above. To the right of the list you can find the page with the tabs of settings related to the position selected in the list. Moreover, some settings for the selected position are called from the context menu.

The list of servers contains the records of three types marked by the corresponding icons:

• Main settings contain the following settings tabs:

  • Update: Server update settings.

  • Services: connection and operation settings for Eocortex System Monitoring, Episode archive, and Long-term database services.

  • Cameras: Settings of camera distribution among servers.

  • Archive bookmarks Setting of archive bookmarks’ categories.

  • Security: Setting up secure connection to servers.

• Main server: the main server of the multi-server system. In the single-server system the server is always “main”.

• Subordinate server is a subordinate server in a multi-server system.

For the main and subordinate servers, their names and addresses are stated to the right of the icons.

Note

Note
