5. ENVI Visual Management Software (VMS) 

1. ENVI Visual Management

 

Software 

ENVI VMS

 is a program used for basic configuration, diagnostics and F/W upgrades of video servers 

or IP cameras. 

ENVI VMS 

provides the following features: 

- Finding servers on the LAN and assigning IP address 

- Monitoring server status: encoding/decoding, serial, sensor etc. 

- Diagnostic function: PING, network bandwidth measurement, video/audio output port check,       

  serial port check 

- F/W upgrade 

 

2. Server Registration and Removal 

 

Server Registration 

In order to manage servers using ENVI VMS, the first step is to register the server.   

 

 Select 

Add Server

 on 

Server

 menu.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Enter information for connecting to the server at 

Add Server

 dialog. 

 

If the server is registered on DDNS server, the domain name can be used instead of an IP address. 

When the IP address of the server is forgotten, it is possible to find the IP address of the server with 

IP Discovery function. (Please refer to IP Discovery section).
