Information on Working on the Client
8
When working on a VIDOS client, note the information listed here.
Local access
The license for a VIDOS client in a server-based system is different than that for
a VIDOS installation with no server.
A VIDOS workstation that is integrated into a client/server system only provides
limited local access.
If the client is connected to the server ( Global settings > Server ), local access
is only possible by logging in as admin with the corresponding password.
You can log in as the admin user on the client PC to:
– Make any necessary changes to the IP address of the server used
– Create and edit site maps and work areas
– Configure alarm management
Connection information
To find out which server is currently being used, click on Help > About… in
VIDOS.
If a server is not available at login, the user is connected to a backup server. If
the server breaks down during operation and the system switches to a backup
server, members of the
admin user group receive a message. Take this
message as a cause for checking the availability of the server.
