Video Network Interfaces 

Video network interface settings, if needed, are configured in the parent device. 

The All Seeing Eye communicates with remote probes using the management 
network and the unit’s 

Video Network Interfaces 

are usually not used. An 

exception might be if the management interface of one or more remote systems 
is on a different management subnet than the one used by the All Seeing Eye. 

These are the only parent device configurations required. All remaining settings 
are configured in the child device. 

„

Remote Systems and Probe Groups

The All Seeing Eye displays probe data from remote systems. Remote systems
include all Inca video processing products. An example remote system is the
Inca Modular Series 4400. In this section we configure the All Seeing Eye to
access probe data on remote systems and we create probe groups.

In the All Seeing Eye, output transport streams and probed sources on the
remote systems are referred to as 

Probes

. The All Seeing Eye accesses the

remote systems and maintains a list of available probes. All available probes can
be viewed in the 

Probe Setup 

tab.

It is important to note that the All Seeing Eye does 

not

 ingest video streams or

perform stream analysis. All stream analysis is performed by the remote
systems.

Configure Remote Systems

To configure remote systems, click on the child device and then on the 

System

Setup 

tab.

In the 

Remote Systems 

section, enter a user defined name, the management IP

address and 

admin 

user password for each remote system. A row for the first

remote system is configured by default. Additional remote systems can be added
by clicking 

Add a new remote system.

The default 

admin 

user password for all Inca products is 

admin; 

the password is

configurable, however, and may have been changed.

Remote systems must be routable from a subnet to which the All Seeing Eye is
connected using a configured and enabled network interface.

After entering the remote system details, click 

!Save Changes

 to save the

configuration. The All Seeing Eye will automatically access the configured
remote systems and detect available stream probes.
