Access via network connection
No special software or drivers are required on the attached computers. Digital users
access the ServSelect IP and all attached systems via Ethernet from a PC running
ServSelect IP Software. This software resides on the user’s PC only. User PCs can
be located anywhere a valid network connection exists. The ServSelect IP can be
configured on a separate network from your data network, allowing access to your
servers even if your applications network is down.
Point and click control with ServSelect IP Software
The ServSelect IP Software is a cross-platform management application that allows you
to view and control the ServSelect IP and all attached servers. The ServSelect IP
Software provides secure authentication, data transfers and username/password storage.
By utilizing a browser interface for navigation with an intuitive split-screen interface,
this software provides you with a single point of access for your entire system. From
here, you can manage the ServSelect IP, install a new ServSelect IP or launch a video
session to a system server. Multiple servers can be accessed by one user; each additional
computer’s video will appear in a separate program window.
