RC-E User Manual
Management Client (RC-E Manager)
Manual
The
Manual
option lets you specify details about each hardware device separately. This can be a good choice if you
only want to add a few hardware devices, and you know their IP addresses, required user names and passwords, etc.
1. Select
Manual
and click
Next
.
2. Specify user names and passwords if your hardware devices are not using the factory default user name and
password. You can add as many user names and passwords as required by clicking
Add
. Remember to
select the
Include
check box for each required device. You must choose to add and include at least one user
name and password in order for the wizard to proceed.
When ready, click
Next
.
3. Now select which drivers to use when scanning. By default, RC-E will use all known drivers. If your
organization only uses certain hardware devices and/or models, you can achieve faster scanning by selecting
only the drivers required for those hardware devices.
Tip
: The list of drivers is typically very long, and by default all drivers are selected. With
Select All
and
Clear
All
, you can avoid having to select/clear all check boxes manually.
When ready, click
Next
.
4. Specify information for the hardware you want to add. You can also optionally select the type of driver you
want to add to speed up hardware detection.
o
Address:
Specify the IP address of the hardware, you want to add.
o
Port:
Specify the port number to which the camera is added.
o
Hardware driver:
Select the driver of the hardware you want to add. Or select
Auto-detect
to let the
wizard detect which driver to install.
5. Wait while the hardware is detected. A status indicator will show the detection process. Select or clear the
network ranges to use in the detection process.
If you successfully detect hardware, a
Success
message will appear in the
Status
column. If you fail to add a
network range, click the
Failed
error message to see why.
Tip
: Select the
Show hardware running on other recording servers
check box to see if detected hardware is
running on other recording servers.
Once detection is complete, click
Next
.
6. Choose to enable or disable successfully detected hardware and cameras. Detected hardware, such as
hardware device, camera, microphone and speaker is listed individually, allowing you to, for example, add a
hardware device's camera without enabling its speaker if needed.
You can change the name of the hardware by clicking
Hardware name
and choosing between:
o
[Hardware model] [address]
o
[Hardware model]
Additionally, you can change name of the device by clicking
Device name
and choosing between:
o
[Hardware name] - [Device type] [number]
o
[Device type] [number] on [hardware name]
o
[Address] - [Device type] [number]
