Chapter 3 - Installation
3-1 MRS Server:
There are two programs through which a user can run the MRS server:
1. MRS Service Program (Web Admin Interface Server):
This is a Windows Service Program that allows the user to setup a server on any PC or
dedicated server and then access and change settings in the server from any location, using
the web. (Recommended)
2. MRS Monitor-Server Application:
This program allows the user to run the server in the same program where the video and
audio are streaming. However, the “MRS Monitor” program only allows one device to work
at any one time and gives full access to the server only from the computer itself and most of
its features cannot be reached from the web. This server program is fitted for small clients
that have purchased only one device.
3-1-1 Installing the MRS Service
The control centre server software can be installed on any PC using Windows XP or later.
The server requires a Fixed (Static) IP address, which is publicly accessible, in order for the
external units to connect. Please refer to the “
Server Technical Requirements
” section of
Chapter 4 in this user manual, for full Server Machine Technical requirements. In order to
allow communication between the server and MRS/PMRS Units and Clients, the following
ports must be open in the server machine’s firewall:
12654 TCP
12655 UDP
For setting up the server on a local area network PC, follow these instructions to open the
ports:
1) Make sure your router has a fixed (Static) IP Address. If it doesn’t, you should
arrange to get one through your internet service provider.
2) Enter your router admin settings.
3) Set your local PC (server PC) to have a fixed local (Static) IP Address assigned in the
router.
4) In the routers port forwarding settings, you need to open the above two ports and
then port forward them to your local PC’s fixed local (Static) IP Address.
