User Administration Section

allfeatures in their access clients, including all available cameras, or whether access should be
restricted on an individual user basis.

Master/Slave Setup Section
You are able to create a master/slave setup of NetDVMS servers. A master/slave setup will allow
remote users to transparently connect to more than one server simultaneously: When remote
users connect to the master server, they will instantly get access to the slave servers as well.
How many master servers can I use in a master/slave setup? An unlimited number of
servers per SLC (Software License Code, specified during
installation
) can be designated as
master servers. If required—for example if your organization is very large and spread over many
geographical locations, or in case you want to create a redundancy solution—this allows you to
use several master servers in a master/slave setup.
How many slave servers can I use in a master/slave setup? An unlimited number of
servers can be defined as slave servers under a designated master server using the same
Software License Code.
Note: When using a master/slave setup, remote users and their rights must be defined in the
Image Server Administrator window on the master server as well as on each of the slave servers.
Note: Only cameras to which a remote user has been given access will be visible to the user,
regardless of whether the cameras are connected to the master server or to one of the slave
servers.
Note: If they are to be accessed from the internet, Enable Outside Access must be selected on all
involved servers, and ports must be mapped accordingly in the routers and/or firewalls used.
