Using Server Management
The ACC ES Rugged 8-Port Appliance is configured through Server Management, which you can access
from the ACC Client application (if you are adding the appliance to an existing multi-server site), or any
compatible browser on a workstation on the same network as the appliance. With Server Management you
can configure the appliance server settings, set how the server keeps time, and remotely restart or upgrade
the server. When the appliance is the first (or only) ACC server deployed at a site, you must access Server
Management with a browser, and after you configure the appliance you can download the ACC Client
software to the workstation and activate the ACC server software on the appliance. Throughout this section,
the term device is used to identify the appliance.
Start backing up the system settings for the appliance after you configure it. These settings include the ACC
password, and the settings for the camera connections. For more information on backing up the site and
server configurations, see the Help files provided with the ACC Client software, or the
Avigilon ACC Client
User Guide
available from the Avigilon website.
Throughout this section, the term device is used to identify the recorder.
