First access to Video Server
Change initial password of administrator
Starting the Web browser to connect to the assigned IP address of Video Server, users
will be asked for user name and password by an authentication message window. A root
password, identical to the Video Server's serial number, is needed for the initial access to
a newly installed Video Server. The administrator must change the root password
immediately after the initial installation to ensure security. The new root password
should be well memorized since there is no way to retrieve or recover it. After changing
the password, the browser will display an authentication window again to ask for the new
password.
Manage user privilege
For complete protection from illegal usage, Video Server provides three privileges and
always needs user name and password before access. The lowest level is DEMO mode
whose services are subject to administrator's permission. The standard level is the USER
mode that consists of twenty user profiles. Each user is able to access Video Server
under the given privilege, except for system configuration. The twenty user profiles are
also maintained by the administrator. The highest level is ROOT mode that only opens to
administrators for initial setup, system configuration, user administration and software
upgrade. The user name of the administrator is internally assigned to “root”.
Complete the network settings
Although Video Server already can be accessed after software installation in local area
network, administrators should complete the network settings in the configuration page.
The complete network configurations including subnet mask as well as the IP address of
default gateway and DNS are provided by your network administrator or Internet service
provider. Once the wrong network settings make Video Server fail to work, refer to
Appendix A to restore factory default settings.
By default Video Server will need administrator's installation every time it reboots. If the
network settings are sure to work all the time, disable the install option in network
configuration Web page or Installer program.
Details about configurations are described in the relative category of the Chapter
Definitions of Configuration.
