Administrator Guide
In general, we recommend you to use the web interface
to administer and maintain the video system, as
described in this administrator guide.
Alternatively, you can access the API of the video
system by other methods:
• HTTP or HTTPS (also used by the web interface)
• SSH
• Telnet
• Serial interface (RS-232)
If you want more information about the different access
methods, and how to use the API, refer to the
API guide
for the video system.
Tip
If the configuration or status is available in the API, the
web interface setting or status translates into an API
configuration or status as follows:
Set
X > Y > Z
to
Value
(web)
is the same as
xConfiguration X Y Z: Value
(API)
Check
X > Y > Z
status (web)
is the same as
xStatus X Y Z
(API)
For example:
Set
SystemUnit > Name
to
MySystem
is the same as
xConfiguration SystemUnit Name: MySystem
Check
SystemUnit > Software > Version
status
is the same as
xStatus SystemUnit Software Version
More settings and status are available in the web
interface than in the API.

Serial interface (RS-232)
• Connect to the video system with a cable. IP-
address, DNS, or a network is not required
•
Enabled

• We recommend using the default baud rate,
because the video system may return much
feedback (

default (

If all access methods are disabled (set to

(set to
