see the name of the server when they create views on their client's
Setup
tab.
Port
Lets you specify a port number to use for the server.
The default port number is 80. You are able to change the default port number.
Enable
Outside
Access
Select the check box if the server should be accessible from the internet via a
router or firewall.
If selecting this option, also specify the outside (public) IP address and port
number in the
Outside Address
and
Outside Port
fields.
Note:
When using outside access, the router or firewall used must be
configured so requests sent to the outside (public) IP address and port are
forwarded to the inside (local) IP address and port of the server running the
Image Server
service.
Outside
Address
Lets you specify a public IP address or hostname for use when the server
should be available from the internet.
Outside Port
Lets you specify a port number for use when the server should be available
from the internet.
The default port number is 80. You are able to change the default port number.
Local IP
Ranges...
Opens the
Define local IP ranges
window
, in which you are able to define IP
address ranges which the
Image Server
should recognize as coming from a
local network.
Background:
When a NetGuardor NetGuard-EVS
connects to a surveillance system, an
amount of initial data communication, including the exchange of contact IP
addresses goes on in the background, completely automatically and
transparent to users.
However, when a NetGuardor NetGuard-EVSon a local network connects to a
surveillance system which is also on the local network, the Image Server may,
if different subnets are involved, not recognize NetGuard's or NetGuard-EVS's
IP address as being local.
When this is the case, the Image Server may not return a suitable IP address
to NetGuard or NetGuard-EVS for further communication between the two.
Therefore, you are able to define a list of IP ranges which the Image Server
should recognize as coming from a local network, in which case it will respond
with a suitable IP address and seamless communication will be possible.
