To provide distributed system operation, Servers, Remote Admin Workstations and Remote Clients interaction interactions are to be configured. Servers, Remote Admin Workstations and Remote Clients interaction means database replication (for Servers and Remote Admin Workstations only) and event exchange. For each Server, Remote Admin Workstation and Remote Client lists are to be composed of interacting and non-interacting Servers, Remote Admin Workstations and Remote Clients are to be created.

Configuration of the surveillance system interaction is performed from the administering server Server or, in the presence of if there are dedicated subnets, from the node server Ыerver or Remote Admin Workstation.
