AoE Setup
This menu allows configuration of the units ATA over Ethernet (AoE) function. AoE is a network
protocol designed for simple high-performance access of storage devices over Ethernet networks.
Importantly the external storage device must be located on the same network as the unit. AoE does
not rely on network layers such as IP and TCP, making it non routable i.e. routers cannot be used
to forward a packet across disparate networks. AoE packets can only travel within a single local
Ethernet storage area network (adds a physical layer of security to the information). The stored
video can only be accessed by plugging directly into an ethernet socket in the same LAN as the
host. This means AoE cannot be accessed over the Internet or other IP networks, but makes AoE
more lightweight (with less load on the host), easier to implement, provides a layer of inherent
security, and offers higher performance.
Note: Refer to Viewer Menu->Copy Menu for guidance on exporting Event data via the unit’s
USB port.
IMPORTANT:
An additional .ini file must be installed to make use of the AOE feature. Please

Logical Devices
Connected AOE Devices - Any devices in this panel are being used by the unit
to store data. These can be freed by clicking on the Release button.
Physical Devices
Available AOE Devices - Any devices in this panel are available on the network.
They can be added to the storage capability of this unit by ‘claiming’ the storage,
using the ‘Claim’ button. Unavailable storage is listed as Owned. Claimed storage
capacity requires formatting before it can be used.
init config string
This button will remove failed or powered down devices that had previously been
recognised and are no longer available.
FDISK
This button will format the whole device, erasing all data previously available on it
and setting it up for video data storage.
